Although we didn't advance, it was honor to make new friends with teams and have the opportunity to creat school history. For the first time we brouhgt our school our first wver Inspire and Promote Award, even being able to reach semi-finals. With all our efforts we enjoyed how much fun we had with new team mates and experiences with the end to our 2019-2020 Skystone Season. In the end, the importance thing is, we had fun, and that's all that really matters.

And here’s a robotics appreciation post. Even though this team has only been together for 2 years, they have been the best 2 years I’ve had at school. The long days when we’d stay after school to work on fixing the robot or programming. Or when we’d go on trips like last year to South Super Regionals and this year to the RGV championships. This team is something that I was super proud to be in and nothing can change my mind about that. To the juniors, now seniors, who will be in robotics next year: I hope you guys have as much fun as we did. I’m happy that I was a part of the Robo T-Wolves. This isn’t necessarily goodbye to the team, I’m pretty sure most of the seniors who are staying here local will be visiting every so often and I know we’ll be cheering on the team during next years competition. These past 2 years have been a blast and it wouldn’t have been possible without robotics. Thank you firstrgv for having us as a team and thank you for the team itself for creating such wonderful memories; 13719 is a number that I will never forget. #robotwolves #firstrgv #omgrobots #13719 ...

"Our personal vehicles are a major cause of global warming. Collectively, cars and trucks account for nearly one-fifth of all US emissions, emitting around 24 pounds of carbon dioxide and other global-warming gases for every gallon of gas.

About five pounds comes from the extraction, production, and delivery of the fuel, while the great bulk of heat-trapping emissions—more than 19 pounds per gallon—comes right out of a car’s tailpipe.

In total, the US transportation sector—which includes cars, trucks, planes, trains, ships, and freight—produces nearly thirty percent of all US global warming emissions, more than almost any other sector."- https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/car-emissions-global-warming

We all rely on the use of cars to help us transport easier, but we should try on relying on other methods as well. Whether it be biking, jogging, running, or car pooling even. The little things matter for us to help our 🌎. As apart of eco.first we wanted to take this challenge to acknowledge air pollution and do what we can to spread awareness.

"Some 80 percent of the world's wastewater is dumped—largely untreated—back into the environment, polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans.

This widespread problem of water pollution is jeopardizing our health. Unsafe water kills more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined. Meanwhile, our drinkable water sources are finite: Less than 1 percent of the earth’s freshwater is actually accessible to us. Without action, the challenges will only increase by 2050, when global demand for freshwater is expected to one third-greater than it is now."- www.nrdc.com

Photo credit: history

Whether it be through lack of diligence or ignorance we all need to care for our ocean and take care of our great blue home. We have to stand as a society to change how we react to untreated water. Do what you can by being careful what you flush down the toilet and throw the proper trash away where it belongs.

We are taking this initiative as apart of eco.first and eco.first.tx to show that WE CARE.💚🌿
