===Science Olympiad (SciOly)===

===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.

===SciDemos===

=== SciDemos ===

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.

===Girls' Engineering Club===

=== Girls' Engineering Club===

GEC, currently led by [[Jennifer Huang]], 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 kids.

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 Fall of 2020:

The JETS GAs, or [[General Assembly|General Assemblies]], are some of the most gratifying, hands-on GAs you'll ever encounter. (Another reason why JETS is the king of all clubs.) Meetings typically consist of the latest announcements, a brief engineering lesson plan, and a fun contest to see who builds the best design based on set criteria. However, everything will be online for the [[2020-2021|2020-2021 school year]].

[[File:Post-deep-clean Boardroom.jpg|thumb|A picture of the new and improved JETS Boardroom after a deep clean and substantial reorganization. [Boardroom cleanout: May 14th-29th, 2020]]The boardroom is a "closet" shared by JETS and Robotics, located inside Mac and filled with various supplies—ranging from dish soap to robotics tools, from yarn to bicycle wheels—that we use for competitions, volunteering, robotics builds, and GAs. If you would like to borrow something from the boardroom, message a current JETS exec and they'll perform live magic to unlock the mysterious door!

Let's be real: who actually organizes their closet every week? Not us. Every year, the messiness in the boardroom starts piling up. So it's no surprise that the JETS board does a deep clean of its beloved closet from year to year. To show you what the experience is like, the 2020-2021 exec board filmed a quick [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxA0EBG7InA&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=TAMSJETS vlog] of their experience cleaning up after the mess left behind by the 2019-2020 board (love you)!
