                 CELEBRATING THE ENGINEERS OF TOMORROW

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
North Carolina (Mr. Davis) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the engineers of tomorrow coming from our very own Frederick Douglass 
Elementary School in Wilson County.
  Under the guidance of Ms. Katherine Taylor, the school's media 
specialist, these talented students are learning to code, building LEGO 
robots, and completing challenges using visual arts and technology. All 
the hard work has paid off, as they won first place in Best Robotics 
Design and Overall Champion in the multicounty FIRST LEGO League 
Challenge.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Taylor for using technology to prepare the 
next generation of leaders and I thank the Wilson County Schools for 
investing in North Carolina's future.

       Greene County All-Stars Win Eastern Athletic Championship

  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the young team of the Greene County all-star basketball 
program. These promising basketball stars of tomorrow just won the 2024 
Eastern Athletic Conference Championship in the 10-12 age co-ed group. 
Greene County defeated Currituck County in a 55-45 victory.
  Mr. Speaker, recreation sports are an excellent way to expose young 
athletes to the fundamentals of the game. These young basketball 
players experienced the wonders of competition, tested their skills and 
teamwork, and came out on top.
  Hats off to the players, Coach Barry, and Coach LaVette for a 
fantastic season. Congratulations to our recreation departments across 
eastern North Carolina for making friendly competitions like this a 
reality. I particularly give a big shout-out to the Greene County 
Recreation Department and to the recreation director, Mike Anderson, 
for hosting this year's tournament.
