For TSA
One place to run your TSA state association.
State advisors and chapter leaders juggle STEM event logistics, membership tracking, and conference planning across too many tools. CTSO Central brings it all together in one platform built around how TSA operates.
TSA management software is a platform that helps state associations and chapter advisors run the day-to-day operations of their Technology Student Association program. This includes managing member rosters across middle school and high school divisions, collecting dues, registering attendees for regional, state, and national conferences, administering STEM competitive events spanning engineering design, coding, cybersecurity, digital media, biotechnology, prepared presentations, and Technology Bowl, coordinating volunteer judges, delivering online tests, calculating placements, and publishing results. Most state TSA associations currently piece this together using a combination of legacy tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes. CTSO Central is a purpose-built TSA management platform from Clearpoint Business Group that brings all of these capabilities into one system. It replaces the need for separate registration, testing, and scoring tools with a single, modern interface that works on any device.
What you get
What does a TSA state association need from its management platform?
A TSA state association needs software that supports a wide range of STEM events across middle school and high school divisions. CTSO Central handles it all so your team can focus on students instead of logistics.
Membership and chapters
Manage TSA members and chapters across middle school and high school divisions in one roster. Import rosters in bulk, set up automatic renewal invoicing, and give advisors self-service tools to manage their own chapters.
STEM competitive events
Administer the full range of TSA competitive events, from technology-driven design challenges and engineering problems to coding, cybersecurity, and prepared presentations. Set up scoring sections and rounds, calculate placements, and publish results when you are ready.
Judging
Judges get a clean, guided experience on any phone, tablet, or laptop. They see the rubric, score each criterion, leave feedback, and move on. Scores save automatically and sync in real time, so your tabulation team always has the latest numbers.
Online testing
Deliver practice tests and competition exams with the right level of security for each situation. Built-in proctoring tools let your team monitor sessions in real time, and students get a focused, distraction-free testing experience.
Conferences
Handle regional, state, and national conferences from registration to departure. Manage attendee types, collect payments, schedule sessions, coordinate housing, and check people in with a quick scan. Every chapter's status is visible at a glance.
Reporting
Pull competition results, membership summaries, and conference attendance numbers whenever you need them. Build dashboards for your board, export data for state CTE reporting, and track year-over-year growth across every chapter.
