Our students delivered an exceptional performance at the 2026 Florida Technology Student Association (TSA) State Conference, joining more than 2,000 students from across Florida in a highly competitive celebration of STEM innovation and skill.
Competing in a variety of events, Turner/Bartels students earned multiple top honors and statewide recognition:
🏆 State Champions (1st Place) – Inventions & Innovations, Promotional Marketing
🥈 2nd Place – Video Game Design
🥉 3rd Place – Data Science and Analytics, Forensic Technology, Technology Bowl
🏅 Ranked 10th Overall Middle School in Florida
These achievements highlight the creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration that Turner/Bartels students bring to STEM learning. Their success reflects the strength of the school’s programs and the dedication of teachers, advisors, and administrators who support students in exploring real-world applications of technology and innovation.
With the state competition complete, students are now preparing for the 2026 National TSA Conference in Washington, D.C., this summer, where they will represent their school and Hillsborough County on the national stage.
