Our own @CarverHS_AISD / @44_Engineering @AldineCTE robotics students build their own version of a @FIRSTinTexas R2-D2 to meet Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader at Comicpalooza 2025! aldineisd.org/2025/06/24/ald…
Today was a great day here at Comicpalooza! Dr @MonikkaM surprised the @44_Engineering @FIRSTinTexas @AldineISD robotics kids with a true 30 minute VIP opportunity to meet StarWars actor Hayden Christensen (Anakin SkyWalker / Darth Vader).




I pushed 22 kids for over four years in one direction - to graduate from @lonestarcollege with a degree in Mechatronics! Finally, I watched them walk - receiving their AAS Degrees and certifications! I am so proud! 22 in - 22 out!! Hail @AldineISD and @CarverHS_AISD P-Tech!




I miss doing this with my own daughters ❤️🏆
Our FIRST LEGO League teams had a fantastic time at Buc Days! From creative pirate-themed costumes to exciting games, this off-season event was filled with energy and FUN on the high seas of STEM! ⚓🤖🏴☠️ #BucDays #FLL #STEM #FIRSTinTexas
….and so you think you know robots. If you believe you have what it takes to endure a challenging yet gratifying experience in STEM, then “The 44“ @CarverHS_AISD should be your next stop! Get on board Now!!!



"The Bus" back in action! We may have fallen short this year (not advancing to the World championship), but the lessons learned at the Texas state robotics championship proved that my @CarverHS_AISD jumped up a whole level in their engineering skills! aldineisd.org/2025/04/25/ald…
My @CarverHS_AISD @AldineCTE @FIRSTinTexas kids worked really hard to finally see their robot get that huge ball in the barge! I’m so proud of them!



We at @CarverHS_AISD @AldineCTE @AldineISD students thank you @FIRSTinTexas !!!
Thank you to Aramco for supporting the FIRST in Texas District Championship. Together, we make this more than robots! @aramco @aramco_americas #firstintexas #aramco
