Technology Student Association ~ Reagan Robotics


This year the TSA (Technology Student Association) of Reagan Chapter 441 has been very busy. They worked with the robotic team on the “Canstruction” project that was on display at the CenterPoint Building in October.  They also "canstructed" a model of the Astrodome consisting of  500+ cans of food helping the Houston Food Bank.  In December, they helped again on the FLL tournament sharing their culinary treats with the participants of the competition.  January found them participating in the CTE week at HISD Hattie Mae Building.  The team participated in the ATHE competition in April with their drawings and robots.  They brought home "Best in Division" plaque, first-place ribbons, second-place ribbons and third-place ribbons, earning them a place to move into the State level in May for their CAD drawings and robots.
