Mission Statement

This flexible, cross-curricular educational program gives students an opportunity to do the things that engineers do--identify problems; brainstorm ideas; design solutions; test, retest and build; and share their results. This process is called the engineering design process. With this at its center, Future City is an engaging way to build students’ 21st century skills.

Description

Using a hands-on, inquiry-based strategy, the Future City program gives middle school students (6-8th grades) a fun way to tackle real-world problems while building their STEM skills. The four-part multi-disciplinary competition asks students to design a future city by employing critical thinking, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills. Their solution is a city designed using SimCity software, a table-top scale city model built with recycled materials, a research essay on a specific engineering topic, and a seven-minute team verbal presentation defending their vision before a panel of judges.
