Competition for all MESA programs segments in problem-solving sessions and/or robotics competition designed to promote teamwork, engineering and problem solving skill development.

Olympics Competition

• 2013 Olympics competition worksheet rules

The OLYMPICS competition has teams of 4 students solve technical problems in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering. The competition is broken down in 3 academic levels:

• Olympics Level 1 practice exam / solutions:  Level 1 is the beginner level. Students competing at this level are high school seniors or freshmen. The competition worksheet includes problems from Introduction to Chemistry, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus.
• Olympics Level 2 practice exam / solutions:  Level 2 is the intermediate level. Students competing at this level are college freshmen and sophomores. The competition worksheet includes problems up through General Chemistry, 1st and 2nd semester Calculus (high school equivalent is A.P. Calculus), and 1st semester Physics (i.e. Mechanics).
• Olympics Level 3 practice exam with solutions:  Level 3 is the advanced level. Students competing at this level are juniors and seniors. The competition worksheet contains problems up through Calculus 3, Differential Equations, Physics 2 + 3 (i.e. Electromagnetism), Statics, Dynamics, Fluids, Ethics, and other E.I.T. material.

Please note that these practice exams may be more difficult than the actual exams.

Robotics Competition

• 2013 Robotics competition rules

The ROBOTICS competition uses the LEGO Mind storm NXT 2.0 robotics kits for teams of up to 4 MESA students to build robots to complete 2 challenges-an obstacle course, and a head-to-head competition. The  nature of the obstacle course and battle will be distributed with the Robotics kits after teams are formulated and also found below:
