• Sep 30: Science Bowl Night
  A fun, low-pressure introduction to the Science Bowl format. Students will practice in teams and learn how the competition works. Questions will be related to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Space and Mathematics.
• Oct TBD: National Science Bowl Teams Tryouts 
  Teams are formed through a ranking test administered by a TMS science teacher. The highest-ranking students in each subject area are selected to form the teams. The top two teams will represent TMS at Regionals in January/February in Portland, Oregon. A third team may also qualify, depending on available spots. (If there are not enough spots, the host organization typically holds a lottery to determine which additional team may advance.)
  
  All teams can compete in a local tournament hosted by Redmond High School in Oct/Nov.
  
  Each team will be assigned a volunteer coach, usually a parent from the team. Teams will practice regularly with their coach and are also expected to study independently.

• Feb: F=MA Physics Exam (exact date TBD)  
  A national physics competition focusing on mechanics. Participating students will need to pay an additional $15 fee per student. Registration will take place in Dec/Jan. 
• Apr 28: Science & Technology Fair
  Students showcase scientific investigations, experiments, and creative technology projects. Other STEM-related groups (ex: Robotics, highschool science clubs, community members, etc) will be invited to participate.
