The Five JETS Domains

The revised framework groups STEM into five interdisciplinary domains that mirror real-world challenges, rather than isolated subjects.

SSE

Sustainable Systems & Environment

Climate adaptation, renewable energy, waste management and water systems.

HFWS

Health, Food & Human Wellbeing

Public health, nutrition, food security and water safety.

DRIS

Digital, Robotics & Intelligent Systems

Software, automation, IoT and artificial intelligence.

EDPS

Engineering, Design & Production

Infrastructure, manufacturing, product design and smart mobility.

MMSI

Mathematical Modelling & Investigation

Data analysis, simulation models, research and evidence validation.

Why domain-based?

Traditionally, JETS quizzes were organised around single subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. That tested subject knowledge well, but encouraged learners to think within isolated disciplines.

Under the revised framework from the National Science Centre, the quiz component now uses a domain-based structure — grouping related STEM concepts into broader, real-world domains and focus areas, in line with the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC).

What learners are tested on

  • Applying knowledge to real situations, not just recalling facts.
  • Analysing short scenarios and choosing the best STEM solution.
  • Deciding and interpreting — many questions are quick short-answer challenges.
  • Two levels: Primary and Secondary, each with its own question pool.

How JETS works

Competitions escalate from the classroom all the way to the province.

1

Join the live event

Players enter a code (or sign in as a student) and wait in the lobby. When the host starts, everyone gets the same questions at the same time.

2

Answer & climb

Read each scenario and type your answer before the timer runs out. Correct answers and speed both count — watch the leaderboard update live after every round.

3

Represent & escalate

Top performers and schools advance from school to district, and from district to provincial championships.
