Dear FIRST Washington Robotics Community,

Happy summer! Now that the 2025-2026 AGE Season has come to a close, we want to thank and celebrate everyone who made this season special.

This edition of the Wire looks at what happens after FIRST^®. We celebrate our graduating seniors, heading off to higher education, industry jobs, the military, and everything in between, and share new data on where they’re headed. We trace the connection between what students did on their

FIRST^® teams and what they’re doing in their careers now. And we recap the highs of the FRC REBUILT season, from district events to Worlds in Houston.

This edition is meant to be shared. Pass it along to your network, personal and professional. We’re always looking to add new volunteers, investors, schools, and companies to the FIRST^® Washington family.

Thank you for being part of this community. We hope you enjoy the read, and we can’t wait to share more stories as we gear up for the 2026-2027 CANOPY season.

Cheers,

FIRST^® Washington Robotics
