The AHSTSA OUTREACH program was designed to reach out to the community and offer technology training and assistance to young students and non-profit community organizations in order to secure the next generation of technology enthusiasts and promote awareness of TSA and the importance of technology education.

 As part of the AHSTSA OUTREACH program, we have: 

  •  Assisted Girls Inc. of Bristol by creating a Wordpress website and teaching associated individuals to administer it.

  • Created and maintained a website for the non-profit Mountain Empire Children’s Choral Academy and created the graphic design for t-shirts celebrating their Hungarian Choir exchange which the visiting Hungarians wore to Abingdon High School for a concert.

  • Created and maintained Boy Scout organization websites, a map of a regional Boy Scout camp to scale by satellite, graphic designs for t-shirts and patches for various Boy Scout organizations and events.

  • Partnered with Dr. Barbara Lockee, Technology Education Professor at Virginia Tech, to promote AITES (Appalachian Information Technology Extension Services) , a five state initiative to build community capacity to enhance middle and high school girls' knowledge of and interest in jobs requiring IT skills.

 Dr. Lockee was a speaker and a judge for our Southwestern Regional Fair.

This AHSTSA OUTREACH GYM Program provided elementary students the opportunity to grow in technological literacy at an early age. The program offered the hope that its participants will become involved in TSA when the opportunity comes and have greater awareness of technology in our world.

AHSTSA offered a Website Building Class for 5th and 6th graders at Sullins Academy, a local private school, in their “Great Young Minds” Enrichment Program.  The course was offered after school on 3 Fridays (Oct. 17th, 31st, and Nov. 7th,  2008) in the Sullins Academy Computer Lab and taught by AHSTSA President, Jason D. Fifteen students participated, benefited from the Cyberspace Pursuit Website Tutorial, and created personal webpages uploaded to the AHSTSA website server.
