TAME Competitions: New Name, Same Great Event

TAME State Competition at Lockheed Martin 2014 Collier Award Students 

Decades of Excellence

For years, TAME’s Math & Science Competitions have been a wonderful opportunity for Texas students to test their math and science skills, connect with like-minded peers and mentors, and explore industry and academic settings.

For years, too, the highlight of these competitions has been the Engineering Design Challenge. The excitement and satisfaction of working with a team to invent a jet-powered blimp, or build a paper skyscraper, or protect an egg on its harrowing fall lasts well beyond the competition — in fact, teachers report that student buzz about the Engineering Design Challenge is a big part of getting new students interested in joining TAME.

Changing the Competition Name

With this in mind, we believe that it’s time for the name of the competition to reflect the inclusion of all aspects of STEM — science, technology, engineering and math. The competition structure will remain exactly the same (why mess with a great thing?). However, rather than Divisional and State Math and Science Competitions, the events will now be called Divisional and State STEM Competitions.


When are this year’s Divisional STEM Competitions?
