Re: Award Recognition for Non-STEM Mentors in FRC
I believe FIRST, in general, should show acceptance of non-STEM mentors (and students, in the case of Dean's List) by merely expanding the provided descriptions of what an ideal recipient of each award looks like.

Instead of using "An enthusiastic or passionate love of STEM" as a criterion, just say "An outstanding individual who exceeds in his/her field of FIRST Robotics".

That being said, does it truly matter?

If my team personally recognizes my abilities and goes so far as to even say "Man, I really think he's earned the XYZ award because of Random Reason No. 2.", that's worth more to me than the award itself.
