BDPA Dallas Students Compete at Texas Technology Student Association Conference

BDPA works with upwards of 500 high school students each week in the computer camps that take place around the nation. We are very excited when our young people have a chance to share their love of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) with others. That is what occurred earlier this week with our young people being trained by BDPA Dallas chapter.

Five BDPA Dallas chapter student members - (l-r in photo) Emilio Ramos, Xavier Grandberry, Veronica Scott, Jaqueria Lacy and Quintin Neal - participated in the High School Webmaster competition hosted by the Technology Student Association (TSA). TSA is the only student organization devoted exclusively to the needs of students interested in technology. Open to students enrolled in or who have completed technology education courses, TSA currently has membership of over 180,000 middle and high school students in 2,000 schools spanning 48 states.

TSA is supported by educators, parents and business leaders who believe in the need for a technologically literate society. Members learn through exciting competitive events, leadership opportunities and much more. The diversity of activities makes TSA a positive experience for every student. From engineers to business managers, our alumni credit TSA with a positive influence on their lives. BDPA Education and Technology Foundation (BETF) is pleased to see that BDPA Dallas chapter explored the opportunity for its student members to participate in the statewide event.

BDPA Dallas students placed 6th out of 24 teams competing in the Web Design competition during the Texas Technology Student Association Conference. Congratulations to Emilio, Xavier, Veronica, Jaqueria, Quintin, Stacy Stewart (BDPA Dallas chapter president) and the rest of the BDPA Dallas leadership team for exploring new frontiers.

I wonder if other BDPA chapters might be interested in exploring TSA membership and TSA competitions in other states?
