We are so proud to announce that two PNW students have won the Dean's List Award at the 2025 FIRST Championship! 🎉

FRC: Owen G, SOTAbots - FRC Team 2557 from Tacoma, WA
FTC: Brady P, team 18079 Accidental Success from Maple Valley, WA

The Dean's List Award is the only FIRST award dedicated to an individual student rather than a team as a whole—and only 10 winners per program were selected from hundreds of applicants from all over the WORLD! 🌍

These students are leaders who have guided their teams and communities toward greater awareness of FIRST and its mission.

Owen and Brady embody the very best values of FIRST—they are inquisitive, dedicated, caring, and persistent advocates for their fellow students and their broader community. ❤️

Congratulations, Owen and Brady! Please leave your messages of congratulations in the comments for these well-deserving students. And congrats to all Dean's List winners and semifinalists—we can't wait to see everything you continue to accomplish! 💙
