Go to Post Dean may have asked that every high school in America be involved with FIRST, but he never said [teams] all had to have separate high schools. - Amanda Morrison [more]

Re: New Chairmans Award Entrants

It's very cool seeing teams embark on the Chairman's Entry for the first time. You all will find the firstawards.org process easier than ever. Remember, as you view submissions from the past the length criteria was a bit different, so pay close attention to the 2005 Rules. One thing that has remained constant over the years is the key criteria for entries, which I discussed a while back here:

As for trying to win Chairman's, do you best - there is a lot of good advice here and a TON more in the archives of this forum, but remember the process is the important part as it leads to growth and incredible experience for your team members in the interview.

Here are the core focal points that have remained constant for CA submissions over the years...
From the manual,
"The primary factors the judges will evaluate are:
1. How strongly does the submission document the impact FIRST has on the learning experience of the students, school curriculum, engineers, and/or community?
2. Has the team explained/demonstrated why/how it should be a role model for other FIRST teams to emulate?
3. How well has the team communicated its excitement and impact within the entire school, community, and beyond (state/nation) through participation in FIRST?
4. Has the team documented an innovative way to spread the FIRST message?
5. How strong of a year-round team partnership effort is reflected? (You can define partnership in many ways, including: the partnership among the team’s students/corporate sponsor/engineers; school/university sponsor/engineers; students/adults; community/team)
6. As a whole, does the content of the documentation exemplify the true meaning of FIRST?
Your Chairman’s Award submission should include documentation for all the above factors."
