For my Student Co-Curricular event, I helped coordinate the CSU-hosted Colorado TEAMS
competition. This event brings Engineering and Math-minded students together for a team-based
competition to analyze and solve hypothetical engineering problems. Students are required to assess
and manipulate data, as well as propose designs and solutions to these problems. My duty was to
both support students professionally, as well as to proctor the test environment. Additionally, proctors
served as tour guides for the new PowerHouse Energy Campus building on North College. Through
this, students were introduced to the different Engineering vocations offered at CSU, as well as the
types of research performed, and the facilities housed.
I have assisted with this event four of the past five years, and am always pleased with the
outcome. It is an excellent chance for student outreach in engineering, as well as providing them an
outlet for scientific curiosity, as well as rewards for indulging that curiosity. Unlike MathCOUNTS and
ScienceBowl, TEAMS particularly fosters a teamwork environment towards solving one large,
comprehensive problem, and focuses less on the correct answer as opposed to reliable, logical thought
processes.
