TSA officials are expecting about 5,000 people.
Among them are teams from Summit Middle School that excelled at state Technology Student Association competition last month in Stillwater — winning in various academic and scientific events.
“I'm so proud of all the work my students have done above and beyond their school day and during their summer vacation. They have truly achieved some ground- breaking accomplishments this past month,” said eighth-grade Summit teacher Jill Sullins.
Sullins and 13 other adults will accompany the students as they compete against some of the brightest. Nationwide, about 150,000 middle and high school students are members of the association, aspiring to future engineers, scientists and technology experts.
One of the events closely associated with the competition involves robotics. The four-member Summit team put together a robot that can scoop balls and place them in cylindrical holders.
Members of the robotics team are Don Wright, Max Huss, Jackson Baker and Kyle Vorheis. It is part of the group's approach to academic challenges, where STEM concepts are applied. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
