TAME Club annual Registration
A TAME Club is an extra-curricular enrichment program that supports students interested in exploring science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) and computer science. TAME Clubs are typically sponsored by teachers, librarians, administrators, parents, or community partners and are often hosted on a school campus or at a community center. Clubs meet regularly to increase student skills, awareness of STEM careers and access to role models. TAME volunteers from local universities and corporations may support the clubs and serve as role models.
This annual Club Registration form must be completed by the Adult Sponsor establishing or renewing a club. After the Club Sponsor registers the club, all student members in the club must submit an online registration signed by a parent or guardian (if the student is a minor).
Club and Student Registration for the 2021 STEM Competition Season is officially closed.
Due to the difficulties posed by this year, TAME has opted to keep registration open until mid-spring to allow more clubs to receive toolkits, support seniors applying for scholarships, and join the TAME Ecosystem conversation. Clubs and students registered after November 12th will not be eligible to participate in STEM Competitions, but we look forward to welcoming you into the TAME family!
