Future City is a project-based learning program where students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future. Keeping the engineering design process and project management front and center, students work in teams to ask and answer an authentic, real-world question: How can we make the world a better place? Students involved in the Future City Competition spend approximately four months creating cities that could exist at least 100 years in the future. Each city must incorporate a solution to a design challenge that changes each year. This year’s challenge, Powering Our Future, asks students to design a resilient power grid that can withstand and quickly recover from the impacts of a natural disaster.
Experience will include time to work with students individually and as a larger group. There will be various activities going on and specific tasks will vary from week to week. At registration please select the day or dates you plan to attend, come one day or all and see the entire project from beginning to end. Hope to see you there!
