Important updates about the season timeline and how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting game play in the Rio Grande Valley.

Today we had a chance to have an informal chat with Mr Orlando Montalvo from Sharyland ISD about his recent attendance of the United States Air Force leadership experience.

Mr Montalvo is the first coach to attend from the Rio Grande Valley and is only one of two from Texas selected out of more than 300 applicants across the United States.

Steve Taylor of the Rio Grande Guardian conducted an informal interview for us.

We are excited to offer you updates on the upcoming season and various announcements for teams here in the Rio Grande Valley.

Join us on May 4th to enjoy the announcement from Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) about this years FIRST challenge. This coming season is going to be out of this world while all of our teams prepare to be a FORCE FOR CHANGE!

Together, we RISE. Join us.

Recently, Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted a very special message to FIRST and for those attending the 2019 FIRST World Championship in Houston, Texas. We appreciate the support of our governor. #STEMed #MoreThanRobots
