Dates for the 2022-23 school year

• Club & Student Registration opened: Early August

Each TAME Club must meet the following requirements:

• Have at least 6 student participants in grades 6 – 12

Title I Schools have 40% or more students who are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Not sure if you’re at a Title I school? Look up your school by zip code in the National Center for Education Statistics here.

Toolkits & Funding

TAME Toolkits will be distributed to all clubs that meet the registration requirements by October 31, 2022. Our goal is to deliver toolkits and funding during the fall when they can do the most good. Read our update about this year’s TAME Toolkits!

Please carefully review your student roster below and email registration@tame.org as soon as possible if there are students missing from your roster who registered before the deadline.

How to register

Students can register with their parent/guardian at tame.org/student2022.

Website translations are available in Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, Hindi, Urdu, Korean, and Arabic. (Look for the red button at the bottom right part of the page.) If you or your students have issues with the online form, please contact TAME for help troubleshooting.

Student Registration: Online or PDF?

Printable PDF versions of the Student Registration are available in English and Spanish this year. We prefer online registration whenever possible, but we understand that doesn’t work for everyone.

Online registrations will appear in your My Clubs roster instantly, but students who use printable forms may take 2-3 weeks to appear from the time you submit them to the State Office. The whole club doesn’t need to register the same way, it’s fine if some of your students register online and others use a form.

Upload scanned paper registration forms to our secure file uploader. Contact us at registration@tame.org if you have issues with it.

SECURE FILE UPLOADER

Please include the name of the TAME Club in the file so we can quickly process your forms—some years we we receive thousands of PDFs!  Example: if you share most of your forms in a big PDF titled GonzalezMS_2022_0917 and then a week later need to send a few more forms, it would help if the next PDF was labeled something like GonzalezMS_2022_0924.

Club Sponsor Guide, Digital Kit & other TAME Club resources

Get started with our Club Sponsor Guide for best practices and “recipe ideas” for fun meetings! TAME also has free downloads of engineering activities designed with real engineers and mapped to TEKS.

Also available on our Club Resources and Activities page, TAME offers a Digital Club Kit with free recruitment flyers in English and Spanish, blank printable engineering workbooks, certificates of participation, fundraising and community support guide, and more!

TAME Ecosystem Slack Channel

The TAME Ecosystem Slack channel helps Club Sponsors & Chapter leadership to collaborate, troubleshoot, and share ideas across Texas. Follow these steps to participate.

During business hours, you can contact TAME Staff instantly in a channel or private message through Slack. As we get closer to competitions, the TAME slack channels will be a great way to coordinate your students’ needs and participation.
