Arkansas Technology Student Association
High School Competitions
Show off your skills!
All information on this page refers to the Arkansas TSA State Conference only. We strive to provide a competition atmosphere as close to Nationals as possible, but there will always be some variation. For National events, please see the TSA Competitive Events Guide under the "Total TSA" tab in the affiliation portal. You will only have access to that guide after affiliating your chapter.
Choosing Competitions
-
Visit this website to take a quiz that will help you find a competition you may be interested in.
-
Write down all of the competitions you're interested in.
-
Check the chart to the left.
-
If two of your events are in the same "Block," you will have to decide between those two events.
-
If one of your events is in a "Block" and your other events are in a "Time Slot" of the same color (i.e. Essays on Technology and Animatronics), you will have to decide between those two events.
-
If all of your events are in the "Time Slot" column, you may do as many events as you'd like, but ARTSA recommends you do no more than four.
