=== Science Bowl (SciBowl) ===
Science Bowl is a middle and high school team competition that is similar to [[Quizbowl]] /Academic Decathlon/Whiz Quiz, except all of the questions come from various topics of science. Teams are made up of 5 members with 4 playing at a time. The questions come from biology, chemistry, physics, earth and space science, energy, and math fields. Teams race to answer questions using a buzzer system. The TAMS SciBowl coaches are looking for dedicated students who are willing to push themselves past their limits to bring our school's team to nationals. With that being said, Science Bowl is about the journey, not the destination. The rush of adrenaline that kicks in when you hear the question and your hand races towards the buzzer is truly exhilarating, and our goal, along with making nationals, is that you enjoy the experience. Even if you haven't had any prior Whiz Quiz / Academic Decathlon / Quizbowl experience, you can still gain extensive amounts of science-related knowledge by coming to our weekly practices. To make the team, start studying early by reading science textbooks, looking at sample questions, and learning from missed questions. If you feel ready, you can even write your own questions to solidify your familiarity with the question types.

SciVids was initiated in August 2020 as JETS' newest volunteer opportunity, in collaboration with the TAMS Research Organization. Volunteers will have the chance to perform experiments, teach science topics, design and edit videos, and provide a fun science outlet for hundreds of kids who are stuck at home. Check out the videos that volunteers have made in the past:
