I was a Dean's list nominee for my team. I was interviewed by two judges with my mentor in the room. The interview lasted about 15 minutes. They asked me questions like: What do you do on the team? How do you spread FIRST Robotics? What kind of community service have you done? How do you help new members on your team? Where would your team be without you? I would recommend thinking about how you would answer these questions and questions similar to these before going into your interview. Listen to the questions carefully and if you don't fully understand them ask for it to be repeated or elaborated upon. Also don't be afraid to sit and think about the question for a little while. It's okay if you don't speak as soon as they finish asking the question. And you don't have to answer every question positively. They asked me what I do for business on the team and I don't know anything about business. I simply told them I don't do business. Most importantly try to relax and be confident.
