The FIRST Impact Award
The FIRST Impact Award is the most prestigious award in FIRST, it honors the team that best embodies the mission of FIRST. This award is given to teams that have committed themselves to making a lasting positive impact on their community through community service blended with STEM awareness.
Our Team works toward this mission through our initiative “STEM is for Everyone.” Our initiative is to bring STEM education to the Special needs community. We do this through volunteering at local events, presenting our team and the FIRST program, as well as hosting our own events for special needs children.
One of the events that we are the most proud of is our STEM Journeys camp that we hosted on July 13-16 of this year. This was a 4 day camp where special needs children came for free to learn about STEM through fun hands-on activities. We are looking forward to hosting this again next year!
