Lebanon, PA. The Lebanon High School Technology Student Association (TSA) Chapter is back from a whirlwind weekend of development and competition. Twenty students attended the 2025 PA-TSA State Conference where they attended leadership seminars from state officers and industry partners, and also showcased their skills in event competition. Members demonstrated their knowledge, adaptability, creativity and critical thinking skills in team and individual challenges. Students participated in no less than five events each, and participated in challenges such as:
Board Game Design, Children's Stories, Battling Bots, Cybersecurity, On-Demand Video Production, R.C. Car Off Road Racing, Robotics, Materials Processing, Logo Design, Manufacturing Prototype, Coding, System Control Technology, Debating Technological Issues, Dragster Design, Drone Design, and more!
Students competed in events two ways – by presenting a project that was completed off-site prior to the conference, or by working on-site where challenges had to be solved in a timely fashion. Excitingly, five teams placed in the Top 10 of their events – a first for this fledgling program! The following teams and students were recognized for their work:
PA Battling Bots - 9th Place
PA Logo Design - 9th Place
PA Materials Process - 8th Place
PA Cybersecurity - 3rd Place
Elian Matos Plata
Children's Stories - 9th Place
According to LHS TSA Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Nora Bailey, “…the teamwork, collaboration, and community that has been built through our LHS TSA Chapter this year has been nothing short of inspiring! While many students sat and thought to themselves that they wouldn't place, it was a true honor to see their joy as their name was called and they received their award as a Top 10 finalist for several events! I am very proud of all the work put forth by a chapter that was established just three-years ago.”
