Technology Student Association
Technology Student Association (TSA) is an essential element of a technology education program, providing students the opportunity to engage in activities directly reflecting the curriculum. Along with learning collaboration and leadership skills, students can engage in student-centered, complex tasks that are authentic and developed over an extended period. Beyond the powerful influence of the activities, participation in TSA helps transform students by attending regional, state, and national conferences.
