(Austin, TX) – The 2015 TAME Capital Area Math & Science Competition was held at Welch Hall, University of Texas, Austin, on Saturday January 31, 2015. The event, held free of cost to participants, brought together more than 250 student competitors (grades 6-12) from across the region.
Students competed in individual math and science tests and were grouped into teams to participate in an Engineering Design Challenge. The top six students from each test and the top three teams from the Engineering Design Challenge were recognized. Three teams also received special Judges’ Choice Awards for creative problem solving.
The competition was organized by the African American Youth Harvest Foundation, a local non-profit organization that provides services to African American youth in the Austin area. The Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (TAME) is a statewide 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1976 that enables Texas students to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). In addition to testing student knowledge of math and science concepts, the competition promotes teamwork, leadership, and academic achievement.
More information on TAME’s Math & Science Competitions (now known as STEM Competitions) is available here. Contact the Event Organizer Asi Asumah at events@aayhf.org, if you have any questions or comments.
Congratulations to all our competitors!
