Colorado TSA is building out a repository of useful tools to help chapters. Click the button below to view more, but there are two highlighted today!
1. Chapter Visits! Need a chapter meeting idea? Looking for support on a certain topic? Schedule a chapter visit to have the State Advisor and State Officer Team visit your chapter! Request one here!
2. Event Registration Tool! Shout out to Littleton High School for requesting this tool and giving feedback on it! This spreadsheet allows you to keep track of which students are on which teams and has formulas to check students and teams against registration limits! You can download our chapter roster from TSAweb.org and copy/paste it into the sheet. Find it here. (Any new events will be added after the conclusion of the event design competition.)
Do you have a resource that keeps your chapter running that you can share? Email it to admin@coloradotsa.org. | |

What resources are there? 
The eligibility tables list how many teams can register per chapter and the size allowed for each team. The Competition Instructions give students and advisors an idea of what to expect at the State Conference including key deadlines, locations, and what the procedure will be! This is a supplement to the competitive events guide. 
The pre-submission tables covers everything that happens before arriving at the Gaylord. For each event it specifies what should be submitted during the early submission window or if there is a test. 
The display check-in table says which events need to be submitted to its respective room by 3:00pm on 2/25/27. Click this link to view a flow chart to understand what semifinal interviews will look like this year for "display check-in" events.
There is even more information on the Competition Information not covered in this Weekly Wire. To see all of it click the button below! | |

NEW! Event Design Competition | |
The TSA Event Design Competition gives Colorado TSA members the opportunity to design an original competitive event that could become part of the Colorado TSA State Conference. Created to make the organization more engaging and interactive, this competition encourages members to directly influence the future of Colorado TSA through their creativity and innovation. As technology continues to evolve, so should the opportunities available to students. This competition encourages members to think beyond existing events and design innovative competitions that reflect emerging technologies and skills. By giving students the opportunity to create new events, Colorado TSA can continue adapting its competitive events program to keep pace with the rapidly changing world of technology.
Submissions are due by September 21, 2026. | |
