EVENT OVERVIEW

Using leadership and 21st century skills, participants research and brainstorm the need for an invention or innovation of a device, system, or process related to the current year's theme, noted on the TSA website under Competitions/Themes and Problems. Team entries must include documentation of the team's work through an interactive display (interactive DIGITAL display for those participating in the virtual event) and a model/prototype.  Semifinalists deliver an oral presentation to a panel of judges (who act as venture capitalist investors) to persuade the panel to invest in their invention/innovation.
