Re: Chairman's Interview

Essentially, what I believe you want to aim for when doing a Chairman's presentation is to not only show your team as being a well run team with business-like strategies, but also as a team who can have fun and embrace all the values of FIRST as they are meant to be. Creativity is always a great thing to have in the presentation. You are telling your team's story to the judges. There are some things you can assume they already know, such as what FIRST is and what it is all about, however you want to tell them who you are and who your team is and why you deserve to win the Chairman's Award. It isn't just a presentation either, the judges give you 5 minutes for a presentation and then 5 minutes for them to ask you questions. They will ask some tough questions so you always want to be prepared for whatever they could throw at you. Even if you decide to approach it in a strictly professional way, always try to be yourselves and exemplify what your team is and what you do to spread the values and ideas of FIRST and STEM education.
