Senate Resolution No. by Senator McMath commends Mandeville High School Robotics Team 2992, known as "The S.S. Prometheus," for their outstanding achievements in the FIRST Robotics Competition and their significant contributions to community outreach and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) advocacy. The team, which has been active since 2008, is recognized as one of Louisiana's premier robotics teams, holding a rank of number two in the state and receiving multiple awards for engineering excellence and professionalism. Their commitment to STEAM education is evident through their various outreach programs that have positively impacted over 38,000 students, including summer robotics camps and initiatives aimed at bringing engineering education to underfunded elementary schools.

Additionally, Team 2992 has demonstrated exceptional leadership and mentorship by supporting other robotics teams in the Gulf South and hosting events like the Northshore Knockout, which attracts over 700 participants annually. Their efforts have not only influenced local educational policies but also fostered a culture of inclusivity and community service, as seen through their partnerships with organizations like Chevron and NASA. The resolution highlights the team's impressive statistics, including a 100% graduation and college attendance rate among its members, and their upcoming representation of Louisiana at the FIRST Championship in Houston and the SASA conference in Washington, D.C. The Senate recognizes Team 2992 as a model of student leadership and innovation, reflecting the values of "Gracious Professionalism" and inclusivity in their work.
