=== Science Olympiad (SciOly) ===

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. The TAMS SciOly team hopes to get even better and they need YOU to make our nationals dreams a reality! Contact Nicholas Hao or Geoffrey Zhang (2020-2021) for more information.

SciDemos 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.

GEC is an amazing opportunity to get real hands-on experience with mentoring young girls in underprivileged environments who might not otherwise have access to a high-quality education in STEM. These girls are incredibly bright and it's a blast working with them and volunteers every visit.​ Because the same set of volunteers attend each session, Girls' Engineering Club is the one of the best opportunities to develop a close bond with the kids.

Every year, JETS donates boxes full of experiments and materials to local libraries for kids to check out, literally! These boxes are assembled by our very own JETS members, containing experiments related to a common theme. They're a great way for kids to have fun learning science at home. If you are interested in learning more, contact Jennifer Huang or Leah Ding!
