Day 4! Our final day in orbit, where 10 years of impact lifted off and made history 🏆✨
The morning started with unforgettable news—we were named FIRST Impact Finalists! Fueled by that excitement, we spent the day exploring every corner of the convention center, making memories, sharing laughs, and celebrating alongside teams from around the world.
From dancing and cheering in the stands to joining in on the fuel and T-shirt tosses during the final alliance matches, every moment reminded us why this community is so special. Then came a moment beyond anything we could have imagined: being honored with the FIRST Impact Award and entering the Hall of Fame.
This isn’t the end of our journey—it’s the beginning of something greater, proving the sky is never the limit! 🚀💫
