TMS Takes First Place at STEM Competition!



The TMS STEM team led by Ms. Hatfield won 1st place the the TEAMS competition.  We are proud of our students for representing TMS in their first STEM competition.
The students on the 1st place Middle School Team are:
Demi Worke, Nolan Nail, Yuvia Vasquez,  Luke Lister, Emily Smith, Dillon Taylor, Keniya Starling, Clay Rabius 
Alternates include:  Dylan Glasco, Bryan Hawkins, Kayla Jones, Brooklyn Killen

Here is a little more about the competition
2015 TEAMS competition, “The Power of Engineering,” explored the relationship between energy and engineering. Scenario topics included biofuel, electricity, nuclear and solar energy.
Focused on a theme each year, original academic and innovative concepts are developed for the TEAMS competition based on the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges. Tackling these challenges requires critical job-readiness skills such as collaboration, analytical thinking, and multidimensional problem-solving.

Experience Engineering!

Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAMS) is an annual competition for middle and high school students designed to help them discover their potential for engineering.
During this one-day competition, students apply math and science knowledge in practical, creative ways to solve real-world engineering challenges.
TEAMS sparks excitement by:
  • Providing an integrated STEM learning experience
  • Allowing students a unique inside look at problem solving from an engineer’s viewpoint
  • Increasing students’ self-confidence in solving complex problems while working on a team
  • Inspiring students to consider engineering majors and careers
