TSA
TSA chapters take the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering,
and 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. The 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.
