3-3-2020 NERDS Take on T.E.A.M.S.

Fifteen Nerds stepped out of our "robotics" zone and took on a new challenge this month- the Technology Student Association TEAMS competition. TEAMS stands for Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Math, and Science.

These awesome students worked hard to compete in three areas:

  • Research Essay: Together they worked to research and write a persuasive essay around this year's theme- they need to argue, with scientific basis for how to solve a current problem. In order to do this, they need to collaborate to develop ONE cohesive essay (can you imagine writing an essay with eight authors?). 
  • Engineering Computations: A  60 minute math test, with lots of difficult new information on science and engineering thrown in the mix- this was a CHALLENGE!
  • Design and Build: A 60 minute design challenge: Together engineer a solution to a problem, given a limited set of building supplies and other constraints and criteria. (This was lots of fun!)

TEAMS

Our results, and how we did compared to other schools across the state and the nation, should be available in April (can't wait!)
