Who we are
Our Mission
The Tampa Bay Technology Alliance (TBTA) is a charitable organization based in Pinellas County, Florida. The TBTA is dedicated to giving assistance to the programs that are currently available to enhance a student's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math in a variety of ways.
We are supported by local companies in the area to give financial support to programs like the Youth Engineering Society (YES), For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST), Robofest, and VEX Robotics Competitions. We also help facilitate volunteering and mentorship of students in the Tampa Bay Area through opportunities with YES, FLL, and FIRST.
If you are interested in volunteering with us, becoming a supporter, or just want more information, please contact us.
