Technology Day, held twice per year for middle and secondary students in Illinois, started in 2001 at Illinois State University and at Eastern Illinois University in 2002. Technology Day is a one-day competition that draws over 300 students to each location. The competitions held at both universities are different in scope, but similar to what other students in academic areas such as mathematics and science compete in. Each competition has a Level 1 and Level 2 component. Each competition is based on the Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology. Schools do not have to hold official TSA affiliation to compete at Technology Day.
