The team, called RoboLancers, earned a permanent place in the FIRST Hall of Fame. The award recognizes the team's work to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders in Philadelphia public schools, making it the most prestigious award at the competition.
The RoboLancers were selected as the 2023 Championship FIRST Impact Award winner from a pool of 84 regional FIRST award winners. The team is now one of 34 teams from around the world to have achieved this honor in the competition that dates back to 1992.
"When students float big ideas, I feel my job as a coach is to say ‘yes' and help them make it happen," said head coach of the RoboLancers, Michael Johnson. "We charge forward with these ideas and see how far we can take them." Now, as a Hall of Fame team, the RoboLancers are prequalified to compete at the FIRST Championship for the next 10 years.
With more opportunities in sight, the award-winning team's work will only continue to positively impact STEM programs for students all across the city and beyond.
