NDA’s two Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) teams recently participated in the annual TEAMS Competition and scored very well. The Freshman-Sophomore Team placed first in the University of Cincinnati rankings and second in the state of Kentucky rankings in their division. The Junior-Senior JETS Team came in sixth place in the University of Cincinnati rankings also in their division.
The teams meet twice a month throughout the year to practice engineering problems and study the content presented on the TEAMS Competition exam in March. The JETS TEAMS program is an annual high school competition helping students discover their potential for engineering. Using math, science and 21st century learning skills, students work together to problem-solve real, everyday world challenges. This year due to snow, the event was canceled. NDA JETS members took this exam on-site in early April.
Since the Freshman-Sophomore Team scored in the top twenty percent in the private school division, they have been invited to attend the National Competition in Orlando, Florida in June. NDA’s JETS club moderator, Mrs. Diane Goldcamp, commented “This is a great accomplishment and we should be proud of the hard work, dedication, and effort these ladies have put forth to prepare for this competition.”
