The proceeds generated from the fundraisers go toward supporting the chapter's attendance at TSA competitions, both regional and national. In 2002, six members of High Tech's chapter went to the national competition (High Tech's first appearance). There, in Denver, student Eric Gallimore won first place in Electronic Systems.

On March 27, 2003, all 53 members of last year's chapter competed at the Regional TSA Conference, hosted by The College of New Jersey. Students competed in events that incorporated technology into the areas of film, photography, construction, computer troubleshooting, medicine, electronics, computer aided design, and web design. Nearly half of the chapter's members won an award for their respective competitions.
