Tech students score big and bring home awards

- From Wendy Sweet

A group from Daniel Boone High School in Technology Student Associatio­n (TSA) recently competed in their Regional Competitio­n in Stroudsbur­g. Students chose to compete in between one and six events. Placement in these events qualifies them to compete at the State competitio­n April 18-21 in Seven Springs, Pa. TSA allows students to explore STEM career opportunit­ies and develop skills in the fields reached by technology ranging from architectu­re and fashion, to coding and video and game design. We thank the administra­tion and school board for allowing TSA to help these students develop their skill sets.
