History of TSA:
The Technology Student Association (TSA) began in 1958
as the American Industrial Arts Student Association (AIASA), a student
organization dedicated to students involved in technology education
from kindergarten through high school. For the next twenty
years, the American Industrial Arts Association sponsored activities
of AIASA.
In 1978, AIASA, Inc., a nonprofit organization formed to oversee AIASA
activities. For the next decade, AIASA grew in size, strength,
structure, and impact on students and secondary school programs.
In the
Summer of 1988, in its third decade, the AIASA changed the name of the
organization to the Technology Student Association (TSA), the name by
which it is known today. Since then, TSA has become the oldest
and one of the largest student organizations in the country.
