(Beaumont, TX) – The 2018 TAME Golden Triangle STEM Competition was hosted at Lamar University on Saturday, February 3, 2018. The event, offered free of cost to participants, brought together student competitors (grades 6-12) from across the region.
Students competed in individual math and science tests and as part of a team to solve an Engineering Design Challenge. This year’s challenge was developed by engineers from Raytheon. Top finishers from the math and science tests and the Engineering Design Challenge were recognized. One student from each grade level was recognized as the Ace Award Winner for the highest combined math and science score.
