Curriculum Theme: Feats of Engineering Throughout Human History
TAME’s 2024-25 curriculum is packed with activities to ignite students’ curiosity!
Students will assume the roles of Construction, Civil and Agricultural engineers as they complete activities to advance through human history, from the Stone Age, through the Agricultural and Industrial revolutions, to the present day. TAME Engineers will learn about the engineering innovations that make modern cities possible and have allowed humans to overcome the natural world and sustain dense urban communities.
The 2024-25 TAME curriculum, or digital learning guide, also connects to the UN Sustainable Development Goals of Zero Hunger, Clean Water & Sanitation, Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure, and Sustainable Cities.
Competition Theme: Engineering Survival on a Desert Island
Drawing on activities in the 2024-25 TAME digital learning guide, teams of TAME Engineers will tackle a design challenge focused on survival.
The five steps of the Engineering Design Process (Identify, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve) will be the foundation as students work together to engineer solutions for shelter, water access, food sources, and protection. Following the activities in the 2024-25 TAME digital learning guide will prepare students for the competitions, which begin in January 2025.
TAME Community Hub
The TAME Community Hub is a collection of online resources to complement the TAME Club learning experience. Club Leaders, students, and their families can access information and resources, including high school STEM endorsement course sequencing, engineering college & career readiness, and scholarships & financial aid.
