TEAMS at UK in 2009
The University of Kentucky would like to invite you and your students to participate in 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.
TEAMS will be held February 14, 2009 at the University of Kentucky.
Schools may register as many teams of four to eight students in grades 9 through 12 as they wish.
Varsity teams are open to any grade level, while junior varsity teams are limited to students in
grades 9 through 11. There are different divisions based on school enrollment size and admissions
criteria. The TEAMS competition is a one day, 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 the morning, and respond to open-ended questions in
the afternoon. 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. Participating in TEAMS will allow
you to experience engineering at the University of Kentucky through tours, presentations and
hands-on activities offered by the College of Engineering faculty. You can register at
www.jets.org/teams. Registration begins October 1, 2008 and ends January 15, 2009. You may
register multiple teams of 4 to 8 students. There are two different levels at which your team(s)
may compete: Varsity (9-12) and Junior Varsity (9-11). Register early! The cost is $175 per team
and $125 for each additional team. Please send your registration fees to:
