Northern Cambria TSA

10/07/2026

Hi Everyone!

We are completing a Community Service project for TSA. This year, we have chosen to support our local first responders by helping to supply Box 11. Box 11 is a movable container taken to locations when our first responders are helping our community. It provides various supplies to keep them hydrated and nourished while they are busy at work saving lives and homes. With that being said, we are kicking off our drive this week as the High School students will take part in the fire prevention program. We also have the Elementary taking part in the prevention program in 2 weeks.

Attached is the flyer that you will see us using to promote our drive. Items can be taken to the school offices and we will stop by to pick them up. This will run from now until October 30th.

Thank you for your consideration!

Lilly H. , Karlie K. , Maddy M., Brynn S.

Our TSA group is completing a Community Service project for TSA. We are raising money for veterans this fall by doing a “Red, White and Run” 4k Run/Walk with our community. We will be donating to the Veterans Support Fund at Altoona VA Hospital. This event will take place at the Barr Township Rod and Gun Club on Saturday, November 7th.
Sign up here: https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/PA/Nicktown/RedWhiteAndRun4kForVeterans or you can register the day of the event.

Even if you do not want to run, you can walk! We are also looking for donations towards our goal.

We would also love it if you shared this information with anyone you may know who might be interested.

We would love to see some of you there! Thanks for your consideration in helping to make this a successful event.

Thank you,

For the third year in a row, a Northern Cambria School District team with the Technology Student Association earned a national title.

Congratulations to Zoe McCombie and Braiden Kammerer who were named National Champions in Technical Design at the 2026 TSA National Conference in Washington, DC.

In this event, students are given 24 hours to solve a real world engineering problem by designing a working solution. They research the problem, brainstorm ideas, develop three design concepts, create a CAD drawing of their best design, and explain how their solution meets the design criteria. This year's challenge was to design a device that could be stored in a backpack and then quickly be deployed to keep both the student and the backpack dry during rainy weather.

Zoe also competed in Flight. She advanced to the Top 20 in the nation, outperforming more than 80 other competitors to earn a spot in the finals. During the final round, she had just 45 minutes to build a brand new airplane. Her plane flew well, and she narrowly missed earning a place in the Top 10 nationally.

Braiden also competed in CAD Foundations. In this event, students are given a technical drawing and must recreate it in Autodesk Fusion within a set time limit. Braiden was the third competitor to finish the challenge, although a few small details likely kept him from placing.

These students are incredibly proud of what they accomplished this year. They are already looking forward to next year!

Thank you again to our sponsors, school board, administrators and all of our supporters for making this trip possible! 🖤💛

Tomorrow morning we conclude our conference with the award ceremony. There are 48 states, 1 territory and 4 countries(Japan, Turkey, Germany and Korea) and a total of over 9,500 people this year. Best of luck to our Colts! We are proud of all you have accomplished already and can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds. 🤩

Best of Luck to Zoe as she competes in finals! She is currently in the top 24 of the nation. 🤩

We are excited as Braiden has had a great showing in his CAD event. For this, you are given a problem and they time how fast you can complete the solution that you must draw and then judge your drawing. He was the third competitor to finish! 🤩
