I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!

As you hopefully know, we’re continuing to award Dean’s List, Woodie Flowers, and Chairman’s Awards this season. We’ll also be announcing our event Volunteers of the Year! Districts are setting their own schedules for announcing their awards, and those should be rolling out soon if they haven’t already. On April 29, FIRST HQ will be announcing the FRC Regional awards for suspended events on Twitch.

We have so many awards to announce that we’re going to be breaking the show into three segments. During each segment we’ll be covering a different set of Regionals. Look for the Regionals you were registered for below and be sure to tune in at the times shown!
