A RESOLUTION to honor and commend the Dobyns-Bennett High School Cyber Tribe Robotics Team.
By passing SJR0798, the General Assembly aims to recognize and encourage excellence in education and technical fields, particularly in robotics, which is an important aspect of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. This kind of recognition not only boosts the morale of the students and their coaches but also inspires other students to engage in similar academic pursuits. Such resolutions can play a vital role in promoting educational programs and encouraging participation in STEM-related activities at the high school level.
SJR0798 is a resolution that honors the members of the Dobyns-Bennett High School Cyber Tribe Robotics Team for their exceptional achievements in robotics competitions. The resolution explicitly commends the team's recent qualification for the world competition held in Houston, Texas, in April 2023. This acknowledgment serves to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and success of the students involved in academic and extra-curricular activities, particularly in the field of robotics. The resolution emphasizes the role of such teams as ambassadors for the state through their academic and competitive endeavors.
While SJR0798 is largely non-controversial as a resolution to commend student achievement, it reflects broader themes relevant to educational support and funding for programs that foster technical skills among the youth. The passage of such resolutions could lead to increased visibility and potentially more resources being allocated to robotics and STEM programs in schools across Tennessee. However, the specific impacts of this recognition on educational policy and funding were not part of the debate surrounding the resolution.
