The Annual Fall Conference was a blast. Many of you said that this was one of the better conferences, if not the best you had been to in a long time. We are so excited to have provided a great location and wonderful sessions to empower and recharge our teachers.

We truly appreciate our guest speakers from Siemens and NASA for giving us a look into what we can do in our classrooms to motivate students.

We are also pleased to announce that GETEA will be taking initiatives to support TSA during competitions and conferences. You will see GETEA members taking on more rolls to support our students as they do their best to push the boundaries of technology at all GA TSA events.
