The Senate Resolution 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 in Louisiana. The team, which has been active since 2008, is recognized for its high ranking in the state, numerous awards for engineering excellence, and its commitment to fostering teamwork and innovation among high school students. Their outreach efforts have positively impacted over 38,000 students through various programs, including summer robotics camps and initiatives aimed at bringing engineering education to underfunded elementary schools.

Additionally, Team 2992 has demonstrated a strong commitment to mentorship, assisting other robotics teams in the Gulf South and providing technical support at competitions. Their partnerships with organizations like Chevron and NASA have further integrated robotics with philanthropy, showcasing their dedication to community service. The team has also influenced local educational policies, contributing to the inclusion of a Science and Technology Center in the St. Tammany Parish School District's strategic growth plan. With a 100% graduation and college attendance rate among its members, Team 2992 exemplifies the values of inclusivity and "Gracious Professionalism," and will represent Louisiana at the FIRST Championship in Houston and the SASA conference in Washington, D.C.
