TEAMS

TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) is a STEM competition. Focused on a new theme each year, TEAMS challenges teams of middle school and high school students to collaboratively solve real-world engineering issues by applying their STEM knowledge in practical and creative ways. Original academic and innovative concepts are developed for the TEAMS competition based on the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or other challenges. Undertaking these engineering challenges requires critical job-readiness skills, such as collaboration, analytical thinking, and multi-dimensional problem-solving.

Teams of 2-4 students compete at the state level in February & March at their school. This one-day, three-part competition includes three portions: Design/Build, Multiple Choice, and Essay. The national TEAMS competition takes place during the national TSA conference.
