On April 29 and 30, more than 750 students, advisors, and judges from 38 chapters across the State of Delaware attended the 2015 Delaware Technology Student Association (TSA) State Conference. A total of 692 students participated in 61 competitive events with 1587 total contest entries. The top 3 medalists for each contest were recognized for their outstanding achievement.

Students competed in events such as: Architecture, CAD, Digital Video Production, Dragster Design, Engineering Design, Flight, Jr Solar Sprint, Maglev Vehicles, Robotics, Rocketry, Structural Engineering, System Control Technology, Video Game Design, and more. Each TSA competitive event requires students to apply technology, solve technical problems, conduct research, and invent solutions. Additionally, HB DuPont Middle School was recognized for their students’ outstanding spirit and was honored with the 2015 Delaware TSA Chapter Spirit Award.

The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) dedicated to students interested in the future of invention, innovation, engineering, and technology. Through TSA, members have the opportunity to participate in technology-focused competitive events, take part in community service work, and become leaders for the organization in their school, state, and at the national level. TSA incorporates curricular and co-curricular experiences to emphasize the importance of knowledge, leadership, skill development, and teamwork.
