TSA STEM Integration
In recent years, not only educators, but also political,
civic and industry leaders have pushed for a greater
emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) education in our schools. TSA promotes a vision of
students literate in these fields, and believes that
participation in TSA competitions helps make that vision a
reality.
Also embedded
in most of TSA’s competitive events are art and ethics. It
is difficult to design without considering aesthetics, and
it is irresponsible to create without contemplating ethical
consequences. When students participate in TSA competitions
they find they must not only embrace the value of design
when they compete, they also must envision and assess the
effects of what they develop.
TSA
competitions provide a hands-on venue for learning about
science, technology, engineering and mathematics. By
participating in TSA’s competitive events, students gain a
broader understanding of these specific content areas, and
at the same time experience the satisfaction that comes from
applying them to real-life problem solving situations.
TSA competitions align with national standards for science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As you make
use of them, keep in mind that their power and beauty lie in
their synergistic nature.
