HR3143 is a resolution introduced by Representative Herrero, honoring the Destination ImagiNation Team from Marvin Baker Middle School in Corpus Christi for their outstanding achievement in the Global Finals competition. This resolution celebrates the team's placement of third out of numerous international teams at the event held from May 20 to 23, 2009, in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Destination ImagiNation program focuses on fostering teamwork and innovative problem-solving skills among students, which are evident in the accomplishments of this particular team.
Given that HR3143 purely extends recognition without enacting specific legislative changes, there are no notable points of contention regarding its contents or the implications for state laws.
