What is the TEAMS Academy Exploration Program?Visit UMass Lowell to explore our high tech research labs and interesting college and career opportunities. You’ll also learn about the new TEAMS Academy at UMass Lowell—a special program that gives advanced for high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take a series of hands-on college courses in our research laboratories. We strongly recommend that sophomore and juniros interested in participating in TEAMS Academy to come to an exploration and come see the program for yourself!

Here is a list of the state of the art workshops you may be participating in...Interactive Robotics Students program the robot to look at artwork in the model museum During this workshop you’ll work with your peers to solve a task with a robot that you learn how to program! Can you design and build a robot to successfully “solve” one of four tasks we created. For example, can you design a robot that can find its way out of a shopping mall that had a power blackout? Or can you design a robot that can search every square inch of a room to find a treasure (or clean up the dirt on the floor)?? You will also have the opportunity to visit our robotics research labs to learn about human-robot interactions and urban search and rescue (USAR) robots. See how computer scientists create robots that help people!
Assistive Technology & Electronics High school student in the Assistive Techology Lab Did you know that more than 55 million Americans have some type of disability? Engineers and scientists use their talents to help disabled people adapt to their environments in many ways. In this workshop, see how creative you are as you develop a personal fan to use at a Red Sox game. Suppose your friend injured her hand and can’t turn on her fan on a hot Fenway day. Can you think outside the box to find design alternatives? In this workshop you’ll brainstorm design ideas, then you’ll try your hand at electronics and build a few different prototypes. Which design is the best solution? Bring home a fan & electronics kit to continue your experiment!
Bioinformatics 3D View of DNA Molecule  The genome for a human, a mouse, or even a virus contains billions of base pairs of DNA sequence. How do scientists search through all of this data to make new discoveries? In this workshop, you’ll first learn how to compare organisms and how they are related using genetic information. Suppose you found a tuft of strange hair caught on a bush in the deep, dark UMass Lowell Forest. What creature left it behind??? Then, you will use 3-dimensional computer graphics to examine the structure of a complex biological molecule. See how biologists, chemists, computer scientists, & mathematicians work together to unravel the mysteries of genes and the proteins they encode!
