Join the TEAMS Competition for Students

TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) is a one-day competition for students in middle and high school that allows them to apply their knowledge of skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to issues facing our global society.

Focused on an annual theme, original academic and innovative concepts are developed for the competition based on the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges.

Requirements for the TEAMS Competition

Engaging in the challenges requires critical job-readiness skills such as teamwork, analytical thinking, and multidimensional problem-solving. In 2016, students explored optics, genomics, and space exploration topics.
