  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Arkansas School 
for Mathematics, Sciences and Arts, Conway High School, eStem Charter 
High School, Little Rock Central High School, and North Little Rock 
Center for Excellence for advancing to the state coding competition.
  Out of more than 160 teams, these five are part of 16 teams that were 
selected to advance to the state competition.
  The top three finishing teams will receive monetary rewards of $2,000 
for first place, $1,000 for second place, and $500 for third place for 
each member of the team.
  The money will be placed in a 529 college savings plan account to 
help those students with their journey towards earning a college 
degree.
  I thank the Our Kids Code for providing the grant money for the 
winning teams, and I congratulate the students for qualifying for the 
state competition.
