Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools offer that, you'll have an engineer for life.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE***
To ensure the safety of all our members, JETS would like to host SciDemos and Girls' Engineering Club virtually this year as we continue providing learning experiences for our young science enthusiasts stuck at home. Through the online platform Zoom, TAMS volunteers will video call any of your students who want to participate and perform a science experiment (using common household materials) while explaining the scientific concepts that are incorporated.
We will also be releasing SciVids, or science videos meant to engage your child in various STEM topics and experiments. Please check the webpage for more details.
If you are interested in participating in Virtual Science Club, please contact us at tams.jets@gmail.com. Stay healthy, and remember to wash your hands!

Interactive Teaching
SciDemosSciDemos is an original program in which TAMS students go out to various elementary and middle schools to demonstrate and teach mini-lessons about science, from hoop-gliders to elephant toothpaste, a color symphony to dry ice bubbles.

Girls' Engineering ClubGEC is an amazing opportunity to get real hands-on experience with mentoring young girls in underprivileged environments who might not otherwise have access to a high-quality education in STEM. These girls are incredibly bright and it's a blast working with them and volunteers every visit.

Science Adventure CampScience Adventure Camp's mission is to kindle a passion for science for underprivileged kids in the Denton area. Both the Spring and the Summer Adventure Camps are amazing opportunities for volunteers and campers alike, with a student-led, interactive afternoon camp packed with science, activities, and fun!

STEM Boxes
Every year, JETS donates boxes full of experiments and materials to local libraries for kids to check out, literally! These boxes are assembled by our very own JETS members, containing experiments related to a common theme. They're a great way for kids to have fun learning science at home. If you are interested in learning more, contact Jennifer Huang or Leah Ding!
