TEAMS at UK in 2010
TEAMS 2010 registration is open now!
The University of Kentucky would like to invite 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 March 6, 2010 at the University of Kentucky.
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 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. 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 deadline is Feb 12, 2010. The cost is $175 for the first team and $125 for each additional team. Registration deadline is Feb 12, 2010.
