More than 35 Exeter Township Senior High Technology Student Association (TSA) students attended the Pennsylvania TSA “Unity Through Community” Regional Conference in Stroudsburg, PA, in late January. Students competed against peers from 12 other area high schools in a wide range of individual and team-based events, including digital video production, robotics CAD engineering and more.

When the day concluded, 18 Exeter students qualified to advance to the Pennsylvania TSA State Conference in April, earning top finishes for their innovative, technology-based projects.

TSA is an after-school extracurricular club advised by Mr. Zachary Potter that meets weekly throughout the school year to design and prepare projects specifically for this regional competition. Reflecting on the students’ success, Potter shared, “I am extremely proud of all of our club participants for their hard work and efforts. These students are taking time out of their busy schedules to participate in academic events that are not only fun, but also help build important skills they will use in the future.”
