Chairmans Award Essay

[jessjank.]

In order to write your chairman's award essay, focus on the questions highlighted in the manual in the awards section , portions 9.2, pages 3 to 5 as designated in the index or 6 through 8 in adobe. Basically, you are explaining why exactly your team is a role model for others to follow. The following topics should be clearly documented in your entry:

1. What is the impact that FIRST has had on the learning experience of the students, school curriculum, engineers, and/or community involved with your team?
2. How has your team explained/demonstrated why/how it should be a role model for other FIRST teams to emulate?
3. How well has your team communicated its excitement and impact within the entire school, community, and beyond (state/nation) through participation in FIRST?
4. Has your team developed and maintained an innovative way to spread the FIRST message?
5. How strong of a year-round team partnership (includes students, advisors, mentors, sponsors, community, school, etc) effort does your team demonstrate?
6. How does your team exemplify the true meaning of FIRST?

Make sure that you explain each of these areas in detail. It may be a nice idea to include a uniting "theme" of some sort derived from the connections made through all these topics and how strongly they represent your team, but that is for your team to figure out during the process of writing your entry. Hope this helps! Massive luck!
