− | + | The mission of the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) is to cultivate a passion for science, engineering, and technology. We facilitate and inspire advancements in engineering and the sciences by encouraging critical and creative thinking and by bringing the world of technology and engineering to the fingertips of our members. We have an extensive outreach program in which we aim to provide STEM engagement throughout the community and make scientific discovery accessible to all. We volunteer year-round in the surrounding community, creating fun and fascinating experiments for children to learn and grow from. We also have our very popular biannual Science Adventure Camp in which we invite 80 underprivileged children to come and learn about STEM for free! In addition, we participate in various competitions including Science Olympiad, Science Bowl, and FIRST [[Robotics]], developing the next generation of STEM professionals with diverse interests. To be quite honest, you should just check out the JETS website. After its creator spent countless hours editing and adding to her baby gem, [https://www.tamsjets.com tamsjets.com], it undoubtedly became one of the most aesthetically pleasing of all the club websites. | |

Science Olympiad is a middle school and high school team competition. Teams of 15 from a school compete against other teams in 23 challenging science events, that range from engineering to entomology and cover biology, chemistry, physics, and everything in between. TAMS typically hosts tryouts in early September for two teams that will be competing starting in October, at the UT Invitational Tournament in Austin, Texas. Everyone is encouraged to try out, regardless of prior experience. | Science Olympiad is a middle school and high school team competition.

SciDemos, currently led by [[Leah Ding]], is an original program in which TAMS students go out to various elementary and middle schools to demonstrate and teach mini-lessons about science, from hoop-gliders to elephant toothpaste, a color symphony to dry ice bubbles. From a completely unbiased point of view, SciDemos is arguably the most fun volunteer opportunity that TAMS has to offer—if you go to TAMS without partaking in it at least once, you cannot call yourself a true TAMSter. | SciDemos, currently led by [[Leah Ding]], is an original program in which TAMS students go out to various elementary and middle schools to demonstrate and teach mini-lessons about science, from hoop-gliders to elephant toothpaste, a color symphony to dry ice bubbles.
