TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science)

What Is TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude?

TEAMS is TSA's annual engineering competition for school-affiliated teams of four to six students. The 2027 theme is Engineering a Smarter World. High-school teams in grades 9-12 prepare an electronically submitted research essay, then complete an in-person Design/Build challenge, a 60-minute team Multiple Choice exam, and Mathematical Modeling. A faculty primary coach registers the school, provides materials, secures a safe local site or approved collegiate host, and supervises the event without helping during competition.

For the 2027 state competition, school coaches register teams from August 17, 2026 through January 8, 2027. Full payment or an official school purchase order must reach TSA by January 8. High-school essays are due January 12; competition and conditional national qualification are separate stages. No closing clock or timezone is published.
