Awards are great. They bring out competitive spirit in everyone and I am beginning to realize their benefits.
My question is:
WHAT AWARDS, if any, DO YOU GIVE YOUR STUDENTS FOR EXEMPLARY PERFORMACE, CONTRIBUTION, OR DEDICATION TO A FIRST ROBOTICS TEAM?
How many do you give out? What are they called? How many students do you give it to? What if you have several who worked equally hard...etc. I'm not a teacher (mere college kid who was crazy enuf to start a team) and would like some help with this.
I am looking to award the many students this year and actually give them the recognition they deserve. I regret not thinking of this earlier as we have some students who need recognition for dedication or even substantial contribution. Better late than never... (i'm planning to give it to them at kickoff...make a note lora

)
Thanks all.
