If you or your organization is interested in committing to a project with the Hampton TSA club, please contact us.
Projects:
MAYA Design, Inc. - 2005
Late in the 2005-2006 school year, MAYA Design, Inc., a company in the South Side of Pittsburgh, contacted Hampton's TSA Chapter.
A group of Hampton's TSA Chapter members took a bus downtown to MAYA's offices. The design, colors, and shapes of everything at the office intrigued us. This fueled our interest in the project.
After meeting with MAYA Design, Inc. a few weeks later, we knew our goal: revamp MAYA's intranet site. An intranet is a private network that is contained within an enterprise that uses Internet protocols. Our MAYA contacts were Terry Pronko, Ranjani Shankar, and Seung Chan Lim.
When our chapter returned from our meeting with MAYA Design all of us had great ideas about what we should do.
In later meetings, we broke into design and entertainment teams. We decided that an entertainment section would be a great addition to the site. The design team came up with a new layout for the site, and in time all the necessary information was added and the project was complete.
Despite two other school groups working with MAYA to complete a similar task, Hampton's TSA club was the only group to succeed in their mission. Hampton received high accolades for this job and hopes to continue helping MAYA Design.

HAEE - 2006
Background:
HAEE (Hampton Alliance [for] Educational Excellence) contacted the TSA chapter. HAEE receives funding through donations and corporate sponsors. In turn, this funding is distributed throughout the school district in order to provide opportunities that extend the curriculum for students. These include but are not limited to CLO shows, field trips, school club trips.
The Task:
HAEE makes presentations to potential sponsors, and uses printed and digital media during their presentations. This seven year old material is becoming increasingly dated. TSA is to aid HAEE in the revamping of this material to facilitate efforts to secure or continue sponsorships.
Our Progress:
The HAEE Project has been postponed because of communication reasons and to allow HAEE to focus on estalishing its own priorities.
MAYA Design Revisited - 2007
At the beginning of the 2007 school year, all students who worked with MAYA Design the previous year were anxious to see if we would be permitted to work with another company to help them, as they had assisted MAYA Design the previous year.
Fortunately for Hampton's TSA, MAYA Design, Inc. contacted Hampton again to progress the intranet site Hampton helped create for MAYA the previous year.
This project is very similar to the MAYA Project of the previous year, except with a twist; the plan is to reorganize all the information of the site and make it as workable as possible by adding new features and ways of editing the site.
The site has been completed and submitted to MAYA Design. We plan to continue contact with them and look forward to future business opportunities with MAYA Design.
American Eagle - 2008
Late into the 2008 school year, Hampton's TSA Chapter was contacted by American Eagle Outfitters to help them with a few projects include coming up with a new way in which to track trucks in their yard and also to come up with useful and practical ideas to hone in on the Green Initiative.
The American Eagle Project has been postponed because of communication reasons and to allow American Eagle to focus on its own priorities.
