The TSA Motto

Learning To Live in a Technical World

The TSA Creed

I believe that Technology Education holds an important place in my life in the technical world. I believe there is a need for the development of good attitudes concerning work, tools, materials, experimentation, and processes of industry. Guided by my teachers, artisans from industry, and my own initiative, I will strive to do my best in making my school, community, state, and nation better places in which to live. I will accept the responsibilities that are mine. I will accept the theories that are supported by proper evidence. I will explore on my own for safer, more effective methods of working and living. I will strive to develop a cooperative attitude and will exercise tact and respect for other individuals. Through the work of my hands and mind, I will express my ideas to the best of my ability. I will make it my goal to do better each day the task before me and to be steadfast in my belief, in my God, and my fellow Americans.

PROBLEM

Last year TSA helped the Environmental Science class at Robertsville repair and clean the outdoor classroom we have at our school.

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM

When we got down there, we found that the bridge going across the creek had been burned down. The weeds had overgrown. The creek's water was blocked off from flowing by leaves, rocks, and old junk that people had left in there. There was all kinds of trash that people had left in the trees and shrubs, including the handlebars of a bike, baby dolls, underwear, parts cut off from hoses, pants, beer bottles, and more. The trail leading down to the classroom was in really bad condition. The stairs right at the beginning of the trail were delapidated.

SOLUTION

To fix the problem, we rebuilt the bridge across the creek. We trimmed the weeds down to where it was easy to walk around the classroom. We got some rakes and cleared the creek of the rocks, leaves, and old junk. We climbed up to the trees and got rid of the baby dolls and whatever else was up there. We had a huge pile of woodchips on our playground. We shoveled the woodchips into trucks and drove the woodchips over to the beginning of the trail of the classroom. We layed the woodchips on the old trail and this is what made our new trail. We now had a classroom that was up and running again.
