Competition registration details
If you are planning to attend/compete at the 2023 Washington TSA State Conference, all students must be registered for competition by Dec. 31, 2022. One advisor must be registered with each chapter as well, but will not pay a fee at that point.

Students must ALSO meet the Jan. 19 virtual qualifier deadline.

In most events, students will receive judge feedback 2 weeks after the January deadline, and can use that feedback to improve their entry prior to the state conference.

For events where the Jan. qualifier is a test, advisors will be provided with test answers on Jan. 20.

Some events will just be a check-off, to confirm that students are making progress on their entry (a working robot, a test flight video, etc).

A handful of events do not need a qualifier, and advisors can add students to those events during state conference registration. See individual web pages for more details.

I am working to finish updating the entry details and deadlines on our website.
