Day 3 at the TSA National Conference!
Today, our two Robotics teams from McKinley Academy are hard at work making final adjustments, troubleshooting, and preparing their robots for national-level competition.
Behind every competition run are countless hours of design, building, testing, problem-solving, and teamwork. Watching our students collaborate under pressure, analyze challenges, and make real-time improvements is a reminder that STEM is more than technology—it is perseverance, resilience, and innovation in action.
These students are competing against some of the best teams from across the nation and proudly representing McKinley Academy, Gallup-McKinley County Schools, New Mexico TSA, and our entire community.
No matter the outcome, we are incredibly proud of their dedication, professionalism, and determination.
We wish our Robotics teams the very best as they take the competition floor!
