Technology Day 2010 Information
Each year the competitions are different in scope, but similar to what other students in academic areas such as mathematics and science compete in. Each competition has Level 1 (6-9 grades) and Level 2 (10-12 grades) components. Each competition is based on the Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology and the Illinois Learning Standards. Schools do not have to hold official TSA affiliation to compete at Technology Day.
