Every yes lives here.
This page is the public record of every entry that gets a yes. Submissions are rolling — July 15 through October 4, 2026 — so winners are named on a rolling basis too. Recognition is part of how we say this work mattered.
2026 Window
Names appear as acceptances happen.
Submit anytime in the window. A yes-or-no review comes back within 10 days. Every yes — student or educator — appears here with first name, hometown, and a short summary. When someone makes real progress and the second tier unlocks, that’s noted too.
