MHS Technology Student Association excels at STEM and Leadership competitions

Milpitas High School’s Technology Student Association (TSA) club scored two first, one second and two third-place marks in recent STEM and Leadership competitions at Mountain House High School in a field of nearly 200 students from Harker, Saratoga, Evergreen Valley, and other participating schools.​

The MHS team claimed first place in video game design for the second year in a row and first place for the drone/UAV challenge, where they built a custom drone from scratch with a camera and a claw. Additionally, the club placed second in the coding test, third in digital video production, and third in video game design.

The MHS team, which started in the 2023-24 school year by TSA founder and president Vasista Ramachandruni, qualified for the National TSA Conference this summer in Nashville, TN, and will represent Milpitas on a national level. Team members include Vasista, Eshan Gupta, Toshan Gupta, Shashank Chamarty, Shivcharanraju Anga, Jeremiah de Guzman, Jericho de Guzman, Rushil Wadhwani, Nihal Kadamba, Amogh Nagre, Harish Manukonda, Swayam Shukla, Oliver Ma, Spencer Tran, Ethan Hui, and Sriram Sivakumar.

In a previous 70-team statewide competition, the MHS team finished third in the state for the build challenge of the Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science.
