South Plains Math & Science Competition

A Math & Science Competition as Big as the South Plains

Join schools from across West Texas for the South Plains Math & Science Competition. Next year's competition will be held Saturday, November 15, 2008, at Texas Tech University from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm.

The annual event is open to all student in grades 6-12. Plus the event is free - so that any school can compete without having to worry about paying for registration fees and lunches.

Each contest tests students' abilities in core math and science subject areas. Students get tested on what they're learning in the classroom, and all of the contests are TEKS-based. Plus the content and format make for great U.I.L. academic meet practice.

Competition Format

The competition is divided into math, science and engineering contests, with students competing within their grade level.

Math and science contests challenge students abilities in timed, multiple choice exams, while the engineering design challenge tests students problem solving skills through a hands-on design problem.

Registration

There is no registration fee for this event.

Schools interested in participating in the competition should download a registration form.

Completed registration forms should be faxed to the T-STEM Center at 806.742.3493.

All registrations must be received by November 7, 2008, so that we can make final preparations for your team. Unfortunately we cannot accept late registrations.
