NASAT

A team from North Carolina attended NASAT in 2018; they finished in 15th place. A North Carolina team also attended NASAT in 2012, when they finished in 7th place. There was discussion of a North Carolina team attending the 2020 NASAT before it was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. North Carolina attended the 2021 NASAT, where they placed 13th.
