Archmere TEAMS Place First in Delaware, Third and Fifth Nationally

Archmere students took home first place for this year's Delaware state Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Science (TEAMS) competition. The goal of TEAMS is to have students work collaboratively to develop practical and creative solutions to real world engineering problems. High school teams that rank 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the Best in State rankings or that achieve a minimum combined score are eligible to compete in the national TEAMS competitions. The Archmere 9/10 team placed third nationally, and the 11/12 team placed fifth.
 
What is TEAMS? Prior to the competition, each team researched and wrote an essay on how the use of robotics could be expanded to address the imbalance of supply and demand as a result of the pandemic. During the competition, each team took a test on this topic, and then in the design build challenge they created a solution to the challenge using common household items.
