Congressman Smith Attends FIRST Robotics Alamo Regional Championship in San Antonio

Saturday, I participated in the FIRST Robotics Alamo Regional Championship in San Antonio. I delivered opening remarks and more than 3,000 students, parents, and teachers attended the regional competition.

You can’t have innovation without advances in technology. And the STEM students of today will lead us to the cutting-edge technologies of tomorrow. I was pleased to participate in this competition that allows students to showcase their talents.

I recently led efforts to pass a STEM education bill in the House of Representatives by a vote of 412-8. The bill strengthens ongoing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education efforts at our federal science agencies and ensures computer science is included in these efforts. Math enthusiasts also recognized Saturday, March 14th, as “Pi Day” for its correlation to the Greek math ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.
