From their first day to graduation, each student showed dedication, growth, and curiosity, and we were honored to celebrate their achievements alongside their families.

A huge thank you to our inspiring keynote speakers, Kyniya Hutchinson and Marcus Walter from the University of Tennessee, for sharing their stories and encouragement.

And to our amazing sponsors — @knoxvillecity, Lawson Family Foundation, the Boyd Foundation, the Clayton Foundation, @empowerknox, and the Tennessee Space Grant Consortium — thank you for supporting a program that empowers individuals of all ages to grow their skills, build confidence, and explore future career pathways. 💼🌟
