About UK JETS TEAMS competition:

The University of Kentucky is hosting a local competition with national recognition. TEAMS, Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Science, is a unique and challenging academic program and competition that helps prepare students for tomorrow’s world — today. Get your students to work cooperatively and think critically.

Schools may register as many teams of four to eight students in grades 9 through 12 as they wish. There are different divisions based on school enrollment size and admissions criteria. The TEAMS competition is a two part academic competition coordinated by the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS). Teams from across the Commonwealth will answer multiple-choice pre-engineering questions in Part 1 (90 mins), and respond to open-ended questions in Part 2 (90 mins).  Students build their problem solving skills across several academic areas, and learn to work cooperatively as group members during the competition. The experience is designed to introduce students to an “engineering team” work environment. Students will compete for local, state and national awards and recognition.

TEAMS is an excellent pre-engineering extracurricular event.  You can register at www.jets.org/teams.  You may register multiple teams of 4 to 8 students.  There are two different levels at which your team(s) may compete: Level 1 (9-10) and Level 2 (11-12).

Registration fee:

– Registration between September 1 and November 30: $175 for the 1st team, $125 for each additional team.

– Registration between December 1 and January 31: $200 for the 1st team, $150 for each additional team.

– Registration between February 1 and February 26: $225 for the 1st team, $175 for each additional team.
