A way we incorporated some of the team in our ppt/video while in quarantine for Chairman's is by having some teammates take selfies and do a p in p of our team name spelled out. instagram.com/p/CBLff1LA8HJ/…

Chairman's 2 years in a row let's keep it up! Many thanks to all the hard working judges for taking the time to acknowledge the seniors and congratulations to all our fellow Chesapeake District Chairman's Award… instagram.com/p/CA0tTi6hVpM/…

With heavy hearts, we share the sad news that Dr. Woodie Flowers has passed away. He will be greatly missed by the entire FIRST community. A message about Woodie can be found on the Inspire Blog: firstinspires.org/community/insp… #WoodieFlowers

I was so happy to see my Gainesville constituent Jack Palmer earn the spirit award too. Jack’s advocates for STEM, @Team2068 & the robotics program with so much enthusiasm. He’s guided me through two of their competitions and I returned the favor in RVA I’m proud of you, Jack!

The FIRST community has shown unwavering support of #KendrickCastillo's family & @Frc4418 through heartfelt messages and generous donations. So far, 1000+ donors have raised $50K for the Team 4418 Victim Support & Memorial Fund. Read more: firstinspires.me/Jr1g50ubKfv

We're heartbroken by the death of Kendrick Castillo, a victim of the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting in Littleton, CO. Kendrick was a member of @Frc4418, of which his father is Lead Mentor. Our hearts go out to Kendrick’s family, friends, & all affected by the shooting.

@FIRSTweets @Frc4418 From @Team2068 we send our deepest condolences and prayers to the families affected by this shooting. We lost a very creative and amazing student in the FIRST community in Kendrick Castillo. Prayers goes out to team @Frc4418 and the Castillo family. #STEMStrong

We loved having you as well!

I spent hours today with my student constituents from Osbourn Park HS, first joining the Metal Jackets robotics @Team2068 along with Battlefield’s Team 1885 in Fairfax for the FIRST competition.
