               HONORING JENKINS HIGH SCHOOL ROBOTICS TEAM

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Jenkins High School robotics team for all of their accomplishments 
during the 2019 season.
  The Jenkins High School team, also called Team WIRE, built from 
scratch a robot that can pick up a large bouncy ball, carry it across a 
room, and place it in a specific location.
  This year's theme was space, and the team had to design a robot that 
could bring fuel to a spacecraft. In this case, the fuel was the large 
bouncy ball.
  Ranking 20th in the State of Georgia, Team WIRE won the judge's award 
at a competition in Gainesville and advanced to a number of prestigious 
tournaments. I am proud that we have this level of talent in the First 
Congressional District of Georgia and thankful that we have Jenkins 
High School, which is doing so much to give their students a STEM 
education and teaching their students the value of teamwork.
  I would like to congratulate Team WIRE on its accomplishments this 
year and wish good luck to Team WIRE in the future.
