Technology Student Association Finals 2015!

While I was at ISTE2015, one of my coworkers, and the Maryland Technology Student Association  (TSA) adviser Geoff Bernstein was in Dallas Texas for the National Finals. TSA is a fantastic opportunity for students of ALL backgrounds to explore technology in a variety of ways, and compete locally in their own state in the Spring, and hopefully qualify for the national conference.  TSA offers a variety of events for Middle School and high School students ranging from architectural design, fashion design, bridge building, vex robotics competition, technology debate, technology essay, video editing, game design, app design, CO2 car racers, Solar racers, to just name a few!  Many of the competitions that they offer, require very little $ towards equipment and can be a great avenue for many students that otherwise do not participate in after school programs, to gain friendships, self confidence, and greater focus!  As one of our students said to us at his first competition "These are my people!". What a great thing to be able to offer to students, the feeling of competition and camaraderie.
