WV TSA is a part of the Technology Student Association, a national organization for elementary, middle, and high school students enrolled in technology education. Students develop leadership and technical skills which prepare them for our technical world. Since 1978, West Virginia TSA (WV TSA) has provided leadership opportunities for over 1,000 students each year, from over 20 chapters across the state.

Each local chapter plans its own activities throughout the school year, but two of the main activies each year are the Spring and National conferences.
