STEM Integration

Salutations  Tennessee TSA!

I hope everyone’s school year is succeeding expectations as  planned. The State Officer Team has come up
with some great information on the  integration of STEM in TSA.  Be sure to leave us a comment or any questions you  may have on this blog. You’ve probably heard or have seen the token phrase “STEM integration” in school or in educational activities. Although, did you know that while enjoying the completion of your events, you are actually engaging in STEM curriculum? TSA is mainly promoted to the involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. All these core subjects make up the word S.T.E.M. Most of the events in TSA have the integration of STEM in some way, shape, or form. The
  integrations of STEM in all the events are listed on the link below. Go check it  out!

In  recent  years, not only educators, but also political, civic and industry leaders have  wanted a greater emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics  education in schools. TSA has emphasizes on STEM education best! TSA promotes a  vision of students able to exceed in these fields, and believes that  participation in TSA competitions helps make that vision a reality. The vision  becomes a reality through the development of STEM by simply competing in events  that are extremely enjoyable like the events you do every year at conference. TSA competitions provide a hands-on venue for learning about science, technology, engineering and mathematics. By participating in TSA’s awesome competitive events, you can 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 also aligns with state performance indicators (s.p.i.’s) and national standards for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
