Competition FAQ TEAMS Mission
TEAMS is an annual competition designed to help middle school and high school students discover their STEM potential. Teams of two to four students apply their knowledge in practical, creative ways to solve real-world engineering challenges.
About TEAMS
TEAMS has served students in STEM disciplines for more than 30 years. TEAMS is administered by the Technology Student Association (TSA), a non-profit membership organization. You do not have to belong to TSA to participate in TEAMS; however, TSA-affiliated chapters receive a 30 percent discount on TEAMS registration.
What is TEAMS?
TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) is an annual science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competition that challenges middle school and high school student teams to work collaboratively to solve real-world engineering challenges, applying their math and science knowledge in practical, creative ways.
After participating in TEAMS—students increase their knowledge of engineering; feel more confident about participating in STEM activities; and increase their ability to work with others to solve complex problems.
TEAMS Offers:
- Exciting, theme-based academic competition
- Real-world applications of math and science
- Collaborative skill building for teams of two to four students
- Three-part competition, including Design/Build, Multiple Choice, and Essay components
- Participation recognition of all teams
