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.

During the school year, we participate in numerous competitions, such as Science Bowl, Science Olympiad, and BEST and FIRST [[Robotics]]. In addition, we have an extensive outreach program and many community service projects throughout the year to inspire STEM interest in people of all ages, including, but not limited to SciDemos, Girls' Engineering Club, Science Adventure Camp, and Robotics FLL mentorship.

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 the kids.

===Science Adventure Camp===

Science Adventure Camp's mission is to kindle a passion for science for underprivileged kids in the Denton area. Both the Spring and the Summer Adventure Camps are amazing opportunities for volunteers and campers alike, with a student-led, interactive afternoon camp packed with science, activities, and fun. Due to COVID-19, however, SAC was cancelled for the 2019-2020 school year. Legends say that the community service co-directors are hoping to put together a virtual Science Adventure Camp...

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:
