These are comments from fellow VEX team members on 8889A’s YouTube channel—a testament to their impact beyond competition.
Alongside their intense VEX competitions, 8889A has valued every opportunity to give back to the community over the past years.
- Launching a summer camp to introduce younger kids to VEX and STEM concepts.
- Creating the RoboLight outreach program to spark curiosity and inspire communities.
- Hosting the RoboBridge program to help special needs children explore STEAM.
- Expanding their nonprofit organization from a 4-member VEX team into a large VEX club with five teams.
- Volunteering at local VEX events to give back to the competition that shaped them.
All team members are thrilled to have won the GOOGLE Community Award—a significant honor that encourages them to continue their mission of giving back.
For 8889A, VEX is more than just a high school activity; it’s a lifelong journey that will continue to shape their futures. 🚀💡
