Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship in Action 💡
Our Technology Student Association (TSA), Technology Education, and Entrepreneurship programs empower students to become problem-solvers, creators, and future leaders in a rapidly evolving world.
Through hands-on, project-based learning, students explore areas such as engineering design, coding, robotics, digital media, and product development. In TSA, they take their skills further by competing, collaborating, and leading in regional, state, and national events, building confidence and real-world experience along the way. We have three 8th grade girls headed to TSA Nationals in Washington DC in June after their first-place win at state in technical design and third in STEM Animation.
Our entrepreneurship pathway challenges students to think like innovators by identifying problems, developing solutions, and pitching ideas that could shape the future. From brainstorming to prototyping to presentation, students gain critical skills in creativity, communication, and business strategy. We also host industry experts who share their career journey and give feedback on business ideas/pitches.
Together, these programs prepare students not just for careers in STEM and business, but for any path that values innovation, adaptability, and leadership. Join us at the 3rd annual art and design gala on May 8th. This event originated as an 8th grader’s business idea and plan.
