Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the triumph of the
RoboGals, a student robotics team from the 11th Congressional District
of Illinois.

The RoboGals are Kaiya Hollister, a fifth grader at the John C.
Dunham STEM Partnership School, and Jensie Coonradt, a fourth grader at
The Wheatlands Elementary School, both in Aurora, Illinois. They met at
an after-school robotics club hosted by Chasewood Learning, an
educational organization that uses Lego robots to teach students how to
build and program their machines for competition.

After winning the regional competition at SciTech Hands On Museum in
Aurora, Illinois, the RoboGals went on to win the national championship
of the World Robotic Olympiad in Michigan. Now they advance to the
world championship round in Qatar, taking on over 50 countries from all
over the globe. I, together with all Americans, wish them the best of
luck.

The RoboGals are an inspiration to young women across our country who
are enthusiastic about science and engineering, and the 11th
Congressional District is proud to have such bright young women
representing our country on the global stage.
