🎮 Smash Bros Showdown: Passion vs. Future! 💥

It was an intense battle, with both sides giving it their all — but in the end, Future took the win 2–0! 🏆🔥

Huge shoutout to Team Passion for the heart, energy, and sportsmanship they brought to the match — and to Team Future for securing the victory!

Every round was electric, every play was bold, and the spirit of the game was alive from start to finish. ⚡

GGs all around — we can’t wait for the next one! 👊💙

Full-circle moments 🖤
We hosted a Post-Secondary Planning Panel where Launchpad Alumni + LiftOff Associates shared their journeys with our 3rd cohort of Launchpad 101 students (high school).
They talked college, careers, and what life after high school really looks like — and our students left inspired. ✨
Grateful for this community that always gives back 💻🚀
