                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 13, 2023

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the achievement the 
historic accomplishment of the Heroes' Alliance Vehicle Technology 
Team, a group of high school students from our district that won the 
2022 national Solar Car Challenge within their division.
  Heroes' Alliance was founded in 2009 by the late Pastor Reginald M. 
Lane, who established the organization in response to the educational 
and residential climates existing in the city of Detroit at that time. 
The Heroes' Alliance is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and 
Math (STEAM) program that challenges students to develop innovative 
technology focusing on renewable energy and automotive engineering. 
Today the project serves as a capstone for students who participate in 
the Heroes' Alliance Cooperative Learning Center, which utilizes 
vehicle technology for the basis of bringing together education, 
innovation, and industry as students work together to design and 
engineer a solar vehicle.
  This summer, their journey will culminate in the Solar Car Challenge, 
a cross-country race from Fort Worth, Texas to Palmdale, California. 
The students will face rigorous tests and evaluations to demonstrate 
the capabilities of their solar-powered vehicle. I am so proud of this 
hard-working and talented group of young people from various schools in 
Metro Detroit and want to congratulate them on their achievements.
  Please join me in recognizing Michigan's Heroes' Alliance Vehicle 
Technology Team, as we cheer them on to victory.
