Last week, the Coeur d'Alene High School chapter of the Technology Student Association (TSA) made an impressive showing at the Idaho TSA State Leadership Conference held in Meridian. The Technology Student Association is a career and technology student organization that works hand in hand with the engineering program to enhance leadership, applied learning, and real-world application.
At the conference, students participated in a variety of competitive events focused on engineering and architecture, all designed to foster leadership, critical thinking, and 21st-century skills. The events allowed students to showcase their abilities in fields such as Dragster Design, Structural Design and Engineering, Manufacturing Prototype, CAD Architecture, Architectural Design, and Technology Problem Solving.
The Coeur d'Alene TSA team demonstrated their dedication, hard work, and talent, earning several awards across multiple categories:
