OFFICER ELECTIONS

 

The Technology Student Association (TSA), formerly AIASA, is the oldest student organization dedicated exclusively to students grades K-12. It has a rich history that spans three decades. Three distinct periods may be found in TSA's history. During the period from 1958 to 1978, the American Industrial Arts Student Association (AIASA) was a sponsored activity of the American Industrial Arts Association (AIAA). In 1978, the nonprofit corporation, AIASA, Inc., was formed to oversee AIASA as a separate organization. During the decade that followed, the organization grew in size, strength, structure, and impact on students and secondary school programs. The summer of 1988 closed this third decade as AIASA reached another milestone, a change in the organization's name: the Technology Student Association (TSA).

 

TSA chapters take the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) beyond the classroom and give students the chance to pursue academic challenges among friends with similar goals and interests. Together, chapter members work on competitive events, attend conferences on the state and national levels and have a good time raising funds to get there. Chapter organization develops leadership, as members may become officers within their state and then run nationally. Our chapters are committed to a national service project and are among the most service-oriented groups in the community.

 

Imagine an activity so captivating that your students spend hours working on it after school for weeks at a time. That’s what happens when TSA members engage in TSA’s competitions. Only TSA members have the opportunity to compete at exciting state conferences and then at the annual National Conference. Expert judging by technology educators and industry representatives inspires the best from participants. Members are rewarded not only with medals or trophies, but also with memories of the camaraderie and the challenge of a TSA Conference.

 

Northern Virginia is the largest region for Virginia TSA, we have a strong showing at the state competition - Technosphere, every year. We also strive to prepare our students for the next level - TSA National Conference.  Each year, the national conference is held in a different state in the United States. Last year, it was held in Dallas,TX, this year it will be held in Orlando, Fl. More information can be found on the National TSA website (link below). This organization is an opportunity for students - young men and young women, to network with other students, Intorduce themselves to people in industry, and learn leadership skills. TSA is not just about Technology, its about make students life-long learners and global citizens.
