How the competition works
Before the event
Study TSA and technology concepts and prepare to take the individual knowledge test with your teammates.
First round
All three teammates take a one-hour test individually. Your team ranking uses the average of your scores.
If you advance
Compete head-to-head against another team in a question-and-answer round.
Know before you choose: The same three members must compete in both rounds. This is a knowledge event; there is no project portfolio to create.
How your work is scored
Your average test score determines whether you advance. The team question rounds use points for correct answers and deductions for some incorrect answers.
