Our Story
The Colorado Technology Student Association got its start in 1986 when it was granted a charter as a state affiliate of the American Industrial Arts Student Association (AIASA). Two years later, in 1988, AIASA would change its name to the Technology Student Association (TSA) and would become the Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) dedicated exclusively to students enrolled in engineering and technology classes at the secondary level.
