Welcome Back TSA! 🚀
Hey TSA fam—welcome to a brand-new school year! Whether you’re a returning member or just thinking about joining, we’re pumped to have you with us. Last year, our chapter crushed it: 9 Top 3 finishes at State and 5 Top 10 finishes at Nationals. That’s huge—and it proves what happens when talent, teamwork, and creativity come together.
But guess what? We’re just getting started. This year Nationals is headed to Washington, D.C., June 22–26, 2026—and we want YOU there repping our chapter on the national stage. Plus, TSA has rolled out new events and updated guidelines, so there are even more opportunities to shine. (Check out the summary below so you’re ready to jump in.)
Don’t miss our Open House on August 25! Our TSA Officers will be there to answer questions, share what TSA is all about, and hand out enrollment forms so you can officially join the team. Bring your friends—this is the perfect chance to get plugged in early.
This year’s theme is “Unity Through Community,” and that’s exactly what we’re about. TSA isn’t just about competing—it’s about building each other up, learning new skills, and creating a space where everyone belongs. Together, we can push ourselves further than ever before.
So gear up, bring your best ideas, and let’s make this TSA year one to remember.
We’re ready—are you?!
CAD Design
Participants demonstrate their understanding of CAD fundamentals as they create a two-dimensional (2D) graphic representation of an engineering part or object. For example, participants may be given an isometric drawing and would be expected to generate the required 2D views, complete with dimensions.
Flight
Electrical Applications
Participants take a test on basic electrical and electronic theory. In response to an onsite challenge, semifinalists assemble a specified circuit from a schematic diagram, make required electrical measurements, and explain their solution in an interview.
