The Technology Student Association (TSA) High School Engineering Competitions offer students a platform to apply skills in various technical fields, including engineering, computer-aided design, biotechnology, and coding. This competition is team-based, requiring a minimum of two students per team.
It operates on State and National levels, allowing students to advance through regional competition. Submissions are evaluated using a combination of criteria-based judging, professional jurors, and scoring. While there are registration fees associated with team participation, high-achieving students are eligible for various recognition awards like the TSA Technology Honor Society, as well as competitive scholarships such as the William P. Elrod Memorial Scholarship ($2,500) and the Dr. Bob Hanson Scholarship ($500).
