# [Celebrating the '22-'23 RK Champions](https://www.robokind.com/recess/2022-2023-robokind-champions-of-the-year)

Each month we recognize RoboKind partners that have exceptional implementation, usage, outreach, or outcomes. Last year, we highlighted our overall partners in our May newsletter and sent a special award their way! Richard Margolin, RoboKind’s co-founder and CEO, broke out his 3D printer to customize plaques for each 2023 winner.

#### What better way to get ready for this year (and [our October Challenge](https://www.robokind.com/recess/october-rk-champion-challenge-2023)) by showcasing last year’s RoboKind Champions with their plaques of Milo!!
