CTSO TSA

200K STUDENTS/2500 TEACHERS 100% LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HS 75% COLLEGE-BOUND OVER 2000 SCHOOLS IN 49 STATES WA & NATIONAL COMPETITIONS & CONFERENCES Key Facts The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a national, non-profit organization of middle and high school students who are engaged in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Since TSA was chartered in 1978, over 2,000,000 student members have participated through challenging competitions, leadership opportunities, and community service. Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Manufacturing, Film/Video Production, Graphic Arts, and many other technical areas.

Career Paths By Sanjay Koduvalli, National TSA President Competition season is finally in full swing, and TSA members across the country are putting the final touches on their projects. Wooden airplanes are flying and CO2 cars are racing down the track. What many members don't realize, however, is that while they are preparing themselves for competition, they are also preparing themselves for their future. Because of TSA's emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), members will easily be able to take their passion for a TSA competition and use it to find a promising career. In recent years, the media has been promoting STEM in education more than ever before. The next few generations are going to see an increase in demand for workers who have STEM skills and experience. So what does that mean for TSA members? TSA is the premier STEM organization in the nation. There are parallels between TSA events and fulfilling STEM careers. For example, if you enjoy Prepared Presentation, then you may be interested in becoming a public speaker. An interest in Flight Endurance may indicate an interest in aeronautical engineering. TSA can be the resource that connects you to your future career path. The next time you are designing the strongest bridge, or editing your video footage, think about the elements of the competition that appeal to you. You may find that these connections inspire your career choice.

Other TSA Programs TEAMS: The Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAMS) is an annual academic competition that tests the skills of students in teamwork, analytical thinking, and multi-dimensional problem solving. TEAMS does so through the application of engineering, math, and science concepts in a one-day test that includes both multiple choice questions and open-ended essay problems. The Verizon Innovative App Challenge: The Verizon Innovative App Challenge, coordinated by TSA in conjunction with the Verizon Foundation, helps students explore STEM in the context of app development. In this competition, students develop the framework for an app that addresses a real need or problem in the students' school or community. Here, both high school and middle school teams submit their designs through a three-minute video and an essay. Winning teams have the chance to win $20,000 for their school to enhance their STEM education program, a Samsung Galaxy Tablet for each team member, a trip to the National TSA conference, and the opportunity to bring their app to the marketplace! Junior Solar Sprint: TSA maintains an online resource center that allows educators to promote the Junior Solar Sprint program. Junior Solar Sprint (JSS) is a program where youth can design, build, and race solar-powered cars using technical expertise. Starting in the school year, JSS has been further integrated into the TSA structure and is now an official TSA middle school competitive event. VEX Robotics : TSA holds an annual robotics competition in partnership with VEX Robotics. Registered TSA VEX teams can also compete at other nationwide VEX events. TSA's VEX program has competitive events at both the middle school and high school levels and continue to be a popular part of TSA's competitive structure.
