The Inspire Award is the highest honor at the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship, which was held at the America’s Center and Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO from April 25 to April 28, 2012

The Inspire Award is given to a team that truly embodied the challenge of the FTC program, best represented as a role model, a top contender for all judging categories and is a strong competitor on the field. The Inspire Award Winner is an inspiration to other teams, acting with Gracious Professionalism™ both on and off the playing field.
