This resolution expresses strong support for designating the third Friday of every March as "National FIRST Robotics Day" to highlight the critical role of robotics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. It emphasizes that robotics is an effective tool for teaching STEM concepts, inspiring youth towards STEM careers, and fostering a skilled 21st-century American workforce. The resolution recognizes America's leadership in robotics technology and the need for increased investment in research and development. It encourages States and local educational agencies to fund afterschool robotics programs using existing federal funds, specifically from title IV, part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act. Furthermore, it urges schools and educators to observe the designated day with appropriate activities that engage students in robotics, mathematics, and science, thereby building strong foundations for STEM literacy and preparing the future workforce.
