Technology Day, started in 2001 at Illinois State University, is a one-day series of STEM-based, simultaneous, hands-on competitive events, drawing between 300-500 middle and secondary students. This year's event were held on Friday, September 30, 2011 at the Illinois State University Bone Student Center. Almost 400 students from twenty different schools participated in the events and 12 different schools had students place in first, second, or third.  Below are the winners from each event. First place winners received plaques.

Each year the competitions are different in scope, but similar to what other students in academic areas such as mathematics and science compete in. Each competition has Level 1 (6-9 grades) and Level 2 (10-12 grades) components. Each competition is based on the Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology and the Illinois Learning Standards. Schools do not have to hold official TSA affiliation to compete at Technology Day.

Dr. Josh Brown, IL-TSA Post-Secondary Representative, is in charge of Technology Day and can be reached at 309.438.5874 or email at jbrown4@ilstu.edu.
