Participants produce a portfolio and create a display and a model. Semifinalists present their design and participate in an interview.  \nStructural Engineering  \nParticipants apply the principles of structural engineering to design and construct a structure that complies with the annual challenge. An assessment of the required documentation and the destructive testing of the structure (to determine its design efficiency) determine both semifinalists and finalists.  \nCommunications Technology  \nChallenging Technology Issues  \nFollowing the onsite random selection of a technology topic from a group of pre-conference posted topics, participants work to prepare for and deliver a debate-style presentation, in which they explain opposing views of the selected topic.  \nChildren’s Stories  \nParticipants create an illustrated children’s story based on the annual theme. The entry product is a physical storybook of artistic, instructional, and social value. Semifinalists read their story aloud and participate in an interview.  \nEssays on Technology  \nParticipants conduct research on specific subtopics from a broad technology area posted as part of the annual theme. Using a previously prepared note card as an approved resource, participants draft an outline of the subtopic randomly selected onsite at the conference. Semifinalists write an essay on that subtopic.  \nPrepared Speech  \nParticipants deliver a timed speech that relates to the theme of the current national TSA conference. Semifinalists and finalists are determined using the same competition procedure.  \nPromotional Marketing  \nParticipants create and submit a marketing portfolio and required elements that address the annual theme/problem. Semifinalists complete a layout and design assignment for evaluation.  \nVlogging  \nParticipants use digital video technology to create original content about a pre-determined technology theme. Semifinalists compete in an onsite challenge to produce additional video(s) based on specified criteria, such as provided props, lines of dialog, and topics.  \nComputer Science and Information Technology  \nCoding  \nTo qualify for the semifinal round of competition, participants take a test that concentrates on computer science and coding. Semifinalists demonstrate their programming knowledge by developing a solution to an onsite coding challenge.  \nCybersecurity Foundations  \nParticipants take a test that assesses knowledge of cybersecurity vocabulary and the skills needed to execute common cybersecurity tasks. Using digital presentation software, semifinalists deliver a presentation that addresses the annual theme/problem.  \nData Science and Analytics  \nParticipants conduct research on the annual topic, collect data, use analytics to assess the data and make predictions, and document their work in a portfolio and a display. To address a challenge presented onsite at the conference, semifinalists review specific data sets, provide insights, make predictions, and present their findings for evaluation.  \nMicrocontroller Design  \nTo address the annual theme/problem, participants design and create a working digital device, document the development process, and demonstrate their product as part of a presentation.  \nVideo Game Design  \nParticipants design, build, provide documentation for, and launch an E-rated, online game on a subject of their choice. Onsite at the conference, semifinalists deliver a presentation and participate inan interview to demonstrate the knowledge and expertise gained during the development of the game.  \nWebsite Design  \nTo address the annual challenge, participants design, build, provide documentation for, and launch a website that incorporates the elements of website design, grap","cbCaikqSgESSfgnc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikqSgESSfgnc","pdf",119784,"English","# Middle School Events\n## Architecture and Construction Technology\n## Communications Technology\n## Children’s Stories\n## Essays on Technology\n## Prepared Speech\n## Promotional Marketing\n## Vlogging\n## Computer Science and Information Technology\n## Leadership\n## Manufacturing and Transportation Technology","[{\"question\":\"How do semifinalists and finalists get determined in engineering and technology events?\",\"answer\":\"Many events require participants to complete research, build or produce a portfolio/model or presentation, then semifinalists advance based on documentation review and onsite challenge performance.
