TAME Club FAQ and 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 registration form must be completed by the Adult Sponsor establishing or renewing a club.

After the TAME office validates the registration, all student members in the club must submit an online registration or turn in a Student Registration Form signed by a parent or guardian (if the student is a minor). To be eligible to compete in the 2019 Divisional STEM Competitions, Club and Student Registrations must be received at the TAME State Office by 5 p.m., October 30, 2019. Clubs must also meet additional location-based criteria.

Each TAME Club must meet the following requirements:

  • Have at least 8 student participants in grades K – 12
  • Have regular in-person meetings where students can strengthen skills and explore STEM with hands-on activities

To be eligible to participate in the annual STEM Competitions, TAME Clubs in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and their suburbs must meet one of the following additional criteria:

  • Be located at a Title I school, where a majority of the students qualify for free/reduced meals OR
