AWARDS:
| Motivate Award |
|---|
| The Motivate Award recognizes outstanding team spirit shown though costumes and outfits, team support, and other methods of standing out and raising attention. Teams that reach out to their schools and community to raise awareness of FIRST and their FTC efforts have done so in a variety of cool and inventive methods – this year’s winner is no exception. |
| The finalists for this award are: |

| The Motivate Award is presented to: |
| Team 3645, 3645 from Anchorage, AK |
Connect Award |
|---|
| The Connect Award is a bit different than the Motivate Award. Winners of the Connect Award have done a great deal of community outreach not only to spread the word about FIRST but specifically to include engineers, scientists, and other technology professionals into their outreach efforts. This creates connections between teams, FIRST, and the professional world that can last years beyond their participation in FTC. Connect Award winners also develop and execute plans to fund their team including clear goals and objectives – including how they can give back to their community in the future. |

| Rockwell Collins Innovate Award |
|---|
| The Rockwell Collins Innovate Award is robot specific. It celebrates teams who come up with innovate solutions to the Game Challenge that most others have overlooked. These solutions can’t just look good – they’ve got to work… at least most of the time. Historically, some of the most innovative breakthroughs in science and technology have come when fresh thinking is applied to a known problem. This year’s Rockwell Collins Innovate Award winners demonstrated that type of thinking. |

| Think Award |
|---|
| Every team at this event has had to think – hopefully a lot. The Think Award recognizes the team that has successfully thought, organized, and documented their journey from their starting point to their final design. The engineering notebook is the record of this journey. Just like in real life, teams that can document their process have the best chance at learning from it and improving on it. |

| Inspire |
|---|
| The Inspire Award is the highest award given by FTC. The winner of the Inspire Award is automatically eligible for advancement to the next tournament level. Winners of the Inspire Award at a Championship Tournament are eligible to compete in the 2009 FTC World Championship in Atlanta. The Inspire Award winner is the ‘prototype’ for what we’d like to see all teams achieve as part of the FIRST Tech Challenge. They do many of the things mentioned in the other awards. The difference is that they’ve tied these together in a comprehensive manner resulting in success in the competition, outreach to the community, robot design, team spirit, and engineering accomplishment. That’s a tall order but we’ve got some great candidates for this award today. |

| Promote |
|---|
| The Promote Award is given to the team that is most successful in creating a compelling message for the public designed to change our culture and celebrate science, technology, engineering and math. The FTC Public Service Announcement Video was evaluated by the judges to determine the winner of this award. Teams must present a thoughtful and high-quality video which appeals to the general public. |

| Compass Award |
|---|
| The Compass Award recognizes an adult coach or mentor who provided outstanding guidance and support for an FTC team throughout the year. The winner of the Compass Award is determined from candidates nominated by FTC team members, via a 40-60 second video submission, highlighting how their mentor has helped them become an outstanding team. |
