Rookie Award

[JohnBoucher]

Welcome to FIRST.

No animation is needed for any awards except the animation award.

There are two rookie awards:

Rookie All Star Award

Award celebrates the rookie team exemplifying a young but strong partnership effort, as well as implementing the mission of FIRST: To inspire students to learn more about science and technology.

Rookie Inspiration Award

Award celebrates a rookie team’s outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering and engineers both within their school and in their community.

Those two awards are about the rookie experience. Your students need to explain to the judges why they are doing FIRST, how it's affecting them and their school and what they had to do to get to compete.

The students are the only ones that will be talking to the judges, so prep them for that experience. Make sure they have specific talking points to use. Have them practice.

Have fun and good luck.
