Speaker Dialogue Blocking Notes Emcee Welcome to the [Insert Name of Event] Awards and Closing Ceremony for FIRST Tech Challenge and FREIGHT FRENZY presented by Raytheon Technologies!
As you've experienced, FIRST is a community of global citizens, we're more than an organization – we're a family, a movement, a culture for participants, volunteers and supporters. Programs like FIRST Tech Challenge are essential for creating scientists and innovators. This generation of scientists and innovators and the next are truly the key to saving the world and we must do all we can to believe in them by preparing and celebrating them.
Let’s celebrate the outstanding day we’ve had, and our incredible participants. Before we hand out our awards, let’s thank the awesome people who made this event happen.
Today could not have been possible without our volunteers! Please give a big round of applause for all the volunteers who have given their time, effort, dedication, and so much more to champion the game and make this program a success.
And another big round of applause for our generous sponsors: Our 2021 -2022 FIRST FORWARD season sponsor Qualcomm, FIRST Tech Challenge 2021-2022 FREIGHT

The Innovate Award sponsored by Raytheon Technologies celebrates a team that has the ingenuity and inventiveness to make their designs come to life.

The creative component needs to work consistently, but a robot does not have to work all of the time during matches to be considered for this award. The team’s engineering portfolio showed the design of the component(s) and the team’s robot, and clearly explains how the team arrived at their solution.
