where you actually meet Impact Award
The Impact Award is judged on evidence, not enthusiasm. Concretely that means a documented multi-year record of starting teams, running events, and measurable community reach, plus an executive summary, a documentation form, and a presentation your students deliver without notes. It is also the only award that advances a team to Championship on merit rather than on robot performance.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
