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
