    Mock FIRST Impact Presentations: Teams will have a chance to practice their Impact presentation and receive feedback from experienced judges. Many teams use this opportunity to practice with new presentation teams.

    Building on the popularity of last year’s FIRST Impact Award seminar, this year’s “Highlighting Individual Contributions and Your Team’s Story: A Guide to Award Submissions

    will focus on helping increase the number of teams submitting all awards, including Woodie Flowers and Deans List awards.

     

    We expect another fantastic event with intense competition, our unique team-designed awards, and special Duel on the Delaware 2025 t-shirt design–all amounting to a great way to close out the year and allow the seniors to compete with their teams one more time.
