Lightbulb Chairman's Award Interview
I was the adult mentor who accompanied our team's two students to the Chairman's Award interview at the Philadelphia Regional.

We were assigned times at lunch on the first day of the competition. You should check with the Pit Administration table to determine how this process will occur at your regional. FIRST may do this differently at each regional.

We were told we had about 3 minutes to "tell our story" as to why our team should win the award. Then the judges asked us questions for about 5 minutes. Again, depending upon the number of Chairman's Award entries at a regional, this process may change.

We met with two judges. We all introduced ourselves and they thanked our team for submitting an award and for spreading the FIRST message. Each of our team took turns speaking. The judges asked questions for clarity while we were telling our story. The time went by very fast.

The judges then asked us questions to follow-up on what we told them. They listened and sometimes took notes. They specifically asked the students what they thought FIRST means to them.

After a few minutes and a few questions later, the judges thanked us for our time.

That was about it. I hope this helps. Good luck later this week.
