In an effort to recognize the leadership and dedication of FIRST’s most outstanding secondary school students, the Kamen family sponsors an award for selected 10th and 11th grade students known as the FIRST Tech Challenge Dean’s List Award. The students who earn FIRST Dean’s List Award status as a semi-finalist, finalist or winner, are great examples of student leaders who have led their teams and communities to increased awareness of FIRST and its mission. These students have also achieved personal technical expertise and accomplishment. It is FIRST’s goal that these individuals will continue, post-award, as great leaders, student alumni, and advocates of FIRST.
The FIRST Chesapeake Region will conduct our 2022-2023 FTC Dean’s List Interviews in January, so the deadline for nominations to be submitted is 12/15/2022- you can not nominate anyone after that date. All FTC Dean’s List Interviews will be conducted remotely. Students will be scheduled for interviews between January 7 and January 15.
Who is Eligible? Any team member who is in 10th or 11th grade may be nominated for the Dean’s List Award. However, each team may submit up to two nominations. Students who are in 10th and 11th grade that mentor the team (and do not actively participate as members of the team) are not eligible.
