The Technology Student Association (TSA) is an academic competition which spans many fields of technology, design, and communication. Nationwide, TSA supports over 230,000 students in 49 states. The competition proves an engaging environment for students to learn technical skills, present their projects, and learn the intricacies of modern technology. With events in computer-aided and architectural design, students get the chance to immerse themselves in all aspects of design, including budgeting and physical model construction. Teams from all over the state and country compete and gain valuable experiential knowledge along the way.
