Look Closer at Impact
5985 is proud to launch “Impact Perspectives”: a mentoring program for any FRC team wanting to get better at the Impact Award – from a first-time submitters to those with Impact banners already hanging on their walls.
We’re offering the “usual” analysis of your Impact submission content. However, the most powerful help we can offer is a different way of looking at things. We’re a self-funded community team made up of “the misfits, the isolated, and the bullied”. We can help identify blind-spots or bias. We have the international perspective of a Hall Of Fame team from outside the USA.
In other words, we’re uniquely suited to offer a viewpoint from outside the normal arena!
We want to help your team answer the important questions – who they are, why they’re doing this, and what they might be missing. We can also tackle the tough questions that you might hesitate to ask out loud! We can be brutal or gentle as you wish!
Visit our Impact Perspectives page to check out what we can offer. We’ve also set up a system where you can book a session without using time-zone conversion!
The Impact Award is the most prestigious honour in the FIRST program. Teams are made stronger just by attempting it. We’d love to help.
