Aldine ISD’s Carver High School robotics team competed in the FIRST Robotics Texas State Championship, which was held from April 2-5, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.

Aldine had several campuses compete this year in the robotics competition, including Eisenhower Ninth Grade School, Blanson CTE, Davis, MacArthur, and Eisenhower High School. Carver won its qualifying competition held in Victoria, Texas, and moved on to compete in the state competition. Carver also had one student qualify individually for the Texas State Championship.

“Through programs like FIRST Robotics, students from Carver High School in Acres Homes—a historically under-resourced, Title I community—are gaining hands-on experience in engineering, teamwork, and problem-solving that rivals top-tier programs nationwide,” said Dr. Don Prier, Carver High School robotics team coach. “Despite limited resources, they’ve not only competed but won against larger, better-funded teams, proving that talent and determination live everywhere.”

The Texas State Championship featured 81 teams with over 2,000 students competing. State champion winners moved on to compete in the world championship, bringing over 230 teams with 25,000 students from across the globe.
