Congratulations to the winners of the IEEE Future Tech Explorers Challenge, the first IEEE Impact Challenge of my presidential year.
470+ entries from 39 countries responded, all designed to spark curiosity about technology in kids ages 5 to 17. I'm inspired by what you built.

Apollo should never represent the upper limit of what @NASA can achieve. It should be a standard we continuously strive to exceed.
We’re bringing that intensity, discipline, and engineering ownership back to this agency. Great nations do not remain great by being caretakers of history, but by continuously making history.
