One of my favorite things we do each year is announce our team's selections each year at our Stop Build Day celebration.

(Sort of spoiled last year when FIRST emailed them like a week before out of the blue. I got to send an upset email, but still not a big deal.)

Our team lets the student leaders select our WFFA nominee each year. Mentors & seniors select the Dean's List nominee, who is always a junior. It's sort of frustrating - obviously the older members deserve the nomination and we have more to talk about than our younger members, but the next year they're ineligible and you can't nominate them again. Last year was the first year I really was disappointed our students didn't get it.

I definitely recommend teams take the time to fill out these (and every!) award because the students and mentors appreciate it regardless, and it gives your students something to work towards.
