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.

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).

TSA and Career Clusters
Career clusters (categories) are groups of similar occupations and industries. They were
developed by the U.S. Department of Education in order to organize career planning and
help schools better prepare learners for their futures.  The TSA Competitions and Career
Clusters grid illustrates the interconnectedness between individual TSA competitions
and the 16 career categories.
