Do you like math and science? Then you might be interested in TAME, or the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering. Their math and science competitions were held on April 10 at the University of Houston, and several students from our school did well. There were over 400 kids who competed, and the competition is tense. But most students said it was fun, too.
“It was fun because you get to test your intellect and get to meet new people,” said Avilash (7).
Many of the students were more interested in the perks than the competition, though. The prizes included a massive trophy and scholarships. The kids also got to drive to Houston in a charter bus.
“You get to stay in a hotel and eat good food!” said Jenny (6).
Among other things, they enjoyed making new friends, going to The Main Event and got a charge out of the blue toilet water at the hotel.
All of the students agreed about one thing—it’s fun and more people should have joined them at U of H. There were representatives from the engineering schools of major universities looking out for people, too. TAME could be your ticket to college.
“It’s fun and everyone should do it!” said Kiera (6).
