FIRST Impact Award Resources

"The FIRST Impact Award is the most prestigious award at FIRST, it honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST. 

The FIRST Impact Award is presented to the team judged to have the most significant measurable impact of its partnerships among its participants and community over a sustained period, not just a single build season. The winner is able to demonstrate progress towards FIRST’s mission of transforming our culture. The recipient team will be invited to the 2025 FIRST Championship and is now a member of the FIRST Hall of Fame.

Imagine a world where innovation is the melody, and this team is the conductor, leading the charge with rhythm and flair. They’ve turned up the heat on STEM advocacy, blazing a trail from remote communities to the halls of Capitol Hill. This team doesn’t just play to the crowd – they lead the band, conducting entire FIRST programs and hitting all the high notes of inspiration. Additionally, they’re spreading the love to rookie teams, providing the support and guidance needed to thrive. They sure are silly…it must be the heat. GO NUTS for CocoNUTS!"
