This year, Amherst Regional High School’s JETS Engineering Club entered six teams (47 students, grades 9-12) into the national Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAM+S).  ARHS has competed in the TEAM+S competition since 1989. TEAM+S is a national academic competition formally sponsored by the Junior Engineering Technical Society and recently taken over by the Technology Student Association. More than 1,000 teams of students compete nationwide every year in a fun and fast-paced competition that inspires creativity, teamwork, critical thinking and valuable insight into the world of engineering.  The theme of this year’s competition was “Engineering the Environment.” Students worked in teams of 8 to complete a multiple choice test, a 1000-word essay, and finally a hands-on design/build challenge.
