TSA Competitive Events:
There's something here for everybody, whether you're motivated
by architectural design and CADD or speech and graphic design! The
design briefs for these events can be incorporated into the technology
education classroom or completed as co-curricular activities. Either
way, high school and middle school students and advisors agree that
TSA's competitive events offer plenty of opportunity for challenge
and fun.
