McBride began the day at MOT Charter High School in Middletown, where she toured the school and met with administrators before congratulating Evina Shingavi, the winner of Delaware\u2019s 2025 Congressional App Challenge. Shingavi, a student at MOT, created Respondify, a life-saving app designed to connect trained volunteers with nearby emergencies in real time. Rep. McBride presented Shingavi with her prizes and recognized her creativity, technical skill, and commitment to strengthening community safety.\n\n\u201cEvina\u2019s work is exactly what gives me hope about our future,\u201d said Rep. McBride. \u201cShe saw a problem, used her skills to help others, and built something that could save lives. That\u2019s the kind of leadership and ingenuity Delaware is full of \u2014 and it\u2019s why investing in STEM education matters.\u201d\n\nLater, Rep. McBride visited EastSide Charter School in Wilmington, where she toured classrooms, met with school leadership, and interacted with students. EastSide Charter serves a diverse, high-need student population and recently opened the Chemours STEM Hub, which provides hands-on learning opportunities for students during the school day and workforce training for the broader community in the evenings.\n\n\u201cSchools like EastSide show what\u2019s possible when we set high expectations and give students the tools they need to succeed,\u201d Rep. McBride said. \u201cEvery child deserves access to engaging, forward-looking education \u2014 no matter their ZIP code.\u201d\n\nThe Congresswoman concluded her day with a visit to Printed Solid, a Delaware-based advanced manufacturing company specializing in 3D printing technologies. During a tour of the facility, Rep. McBride met with company leadership to learn more about their operations, recent growth, and role in strengthening domestic manufacturing and supply chains. Printed Solid\u2019s Wilmington facility now plays a key role in assembling 3D printers for the U.S. market following the company\u2019s acquisition by global manufacturer Prusa Research.\n\n\u201cPrinted Solid is a great example of what it looks like when innovation, manufacturing, and local jobs come together,\u201d said Rep. McBride. \u201cDelaware manufacturers are proving every day that we can build the future right here at home \u2014 and our policies should reflect that.\u201d\n\nRep. McBride emphasized that days spent visiting communities across Delaware are essential to her work in Congress.\n\n\u201cShowing up, listening, and learning from the people doing the work on the ground is how we make better policy,\u201d she said. \u201cFrom classrooms to shop floors, Delawareans are building the future \u2014 and I\u2019ll keep working to make sure Washington is a partner in that progress.\u201d\n\nPhotos from her visits can be accessed for use here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases/photo-release-rep-mcbride-visits-schools-and-manufacturers-across-delaware"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0379089508205652, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
