  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I want to celebrate the achievement of 
Detroit's Foreign Language Immersion and Cultural Studies School's 
(FLICS) Middle School Robotics Team's outstanding performance in 
competition this year. The team is Detroit Public Schools' first team 
in more than thirty years to travel to the For Inspiration and 
Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) International 
Championship.
  Later this month, the FLICS Robotics Team will be taking on the best 
teams from all over the world in this high stakes, four-day 
competition. Team Techno Phoenix has worked hard and persevered in 
competition throughout the season, including an outstanding performance 
at the state championship. I am proud of this group of young people who 
have invested time and energy into this challenging pursuit.
  Please join me in recognition of FLICS' Team Techno Phoenix as we 
cheer them on to victory at the FIRST International competition.
