Technology Student Association

The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a national, non-profit career and technical student organization (CTSO) of middle school and high school students who are engaged in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Since TSA was chartered in 1978, over 5,000,000 student members have participated through competitions, intracurricular activities, leadership opportunities, community service, and more.

TSA provides rules and guidelines for more than 70 middle school competitions and high school competitions for use in a traditional classroom and virtually for distance learning. All TSA competitions are aligned with STEM standards, 21st century leadership skills, and the U.S. Department of Education’s National Career Clusters Framework®. TSA middle and high school competitions are categorized by career pathways in Architecture and Construction Technology, Communications Technology, Computer Science and Information Technology, Leadership, Manufacturing and Transportation Technology, STEM (General), STEM and the Arts, and Technology and Research.

But service projects and fund raisers for the club will be considered in addition to entering competitions.

TSA is a co-curricular student association so time will be allotted during class to review progress on competition entry preparation by students. However, It is probable that students will need time after school to pursue work on said projects. Therefore, the club will meet from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Wednesday night after school- in room 200. Mr. Steele will be there to advise and help order materials for the various competitions students are entering. He will also be responsible to register students.

An interest meeting will be held September 14th after school from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. for any students interested in TSA in room 200 or students can contact Mr. Steele either in room 200 or by email at jim_steele@ccpsnet.net
