Nic Pilcher was selected as the winner of the Dean's List at the Northern Lights Region competition on March 7.  He has been recognized as one of the best and brightest talents in the FIRST community.  The honor was awarded based on his leadership, technical skills and dedication to the core values of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology).  He will represent the 59 teams that participated in the Northern Lights Region competition at the national competition in Detroit, MI on May 1 at the Dean's List Finalist & Winners Celebration with Dean Kamen (founder of FIRST) and special guests.  Winners will be announced at this event!  

"The students who earn FIRST Dean's List status as a finalist will not only be great examples of current student leaders who have led their teams and communities to increased awareness for FIRST and its mission, while achieving personal technical expertise and accomplishment.  The goal of FIRST is that recipients of this award will continue on as active alumni of the program.  Since its introduction in 2010, the FIRST Dean's List Award has attracted the attention of prestigious colleges and universities who desire to have FIRST Dean's List students apply for admissions."  Firstinspires.org
