Re: What is FIRST? - Chairman's Help!
We ask this to all the freshmen and new mentors and see what the first thing pops into their heads, since their view is so fresh and (somewhat) representative of many people's face-value understanding of FIRST.

The 2016 winning Chairman's essays can be found on the FIRST website. It may help to take a look at those.

Re: What is FIRST? - Chairman's Help!
I think this question is each team's chance to be creative and out-of-the-box: this reminds me of the famous UChicago admissions essay questions. I doubt a regular, run of the mill answer will hurt you, but if you can think of a really clever way to answer this question the Judges may be impressed. I don't think it's nearly as important as your answers to other Executive Summary questions, however.

Re: What is FIRST? - Chairman's Help!
On our team we always try to mention the big attractors of the FIRST program. (growth of skills, scholarships, preparation for future careers, creating pathways to STEM careers, etc.) I tend to think of it as our team advertising FIRST to the community, and that usually helps me get that section written.
