The common denominator for TSA members is an interest in technology and a desire to be a part of a national organization. TSA’s curriculum, competitive events, chapter
programs and conferences provide academic and personal growth challenges to its
members.
TSA hosts more than sixty competitions that incorporate communications, construction,
manufacturing, transportation, leadership and related technologies. TSA’s competitive
events align with standards for technological literacy.
TSA events occur at the local, state, regional and national level where members
demonstrate their technology education knowledge and leadership skills. In June, the
National TSA Conference takes place in Orlando, Florida where thousands of members
participate in a quality and exciting educational experience. The Ben Barber TSA is
lead by Advisor Shyla Vire.
