The official rules
The summaries above are ours, written to help you choose. They are not the rules. Every event has a published guide with the requirements, the deadlines and the scoring rubric, and that guide is the only thing judges score against. Read it before you commit to an event.
Event names, categories and theme titles are TSA’s. DSTEM TSA is a student chapter and is not speaking for national TSA.
