Perhaps the most important benefit of TSA membership is the inspiration and enthusiasm that students gain from receiving recognition for applying their knowledge. Demonstrating skills in a forum beyond school walls motivates students, especially when there is a large, like-minded audience of peers who support them. Other benefits include:

• Enhance technological literacy and leadership skills
• Work on complex activities from start to finish
  
• Compete on local, state and national levels
  
• Develop leadership skills
  
• Meet and work with business and industry leaders
  
• Attend organized meetings
  
• Network with students and teachers with similar interests from all over the United States
  
• Contribute time and effort to a national service project
  
• Receive national membership services, including the online TSA newsletter, School Scene,
  
• Receive recognition through TSA’s honor society, scholarships and achievement programs
  
• Have a voice in a national organization that is helping to shape the future of technology education
