         WILTON JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL--SAMSUNG COMPETITION

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate students 
Kaitlyn and Madelyn Thede, Grady Claussen, Collier Rockow, and Lexi 
Henning from Wilton Junior-Senior High School for being the statewide 
winners of the 14th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow national STEM 
competition.
  They invented a grain elevator level tracker that would help farmers 
track the height of their grain with a system of lights that helps 
farmers determine the grain height inside the silo. This invention will 
protect hardworking Iowa farmers from dangerous grain elevator 
accidents and represents a monumental step forward in agricultural 
safety.
  The Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition is a national competition 
that picks one winner from each of the 50 States. These students beat 
out hundreds of other submissions with their clever invention that will 
save lives and protect farmers across Iowa.
  These students will now aim to compete to be one of the 10 finalists, 
with 3 being named national winners.

  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating this 
incredible achievement and wishing these students the best as they 
continue marching toward the finish line.

  I wish my daughter a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Taylor.
