Future City Competition
A project-based learning program where students in grades 6-8 imagine, research, design and build cities of the future. More than 40,000 middle-school students in the United States and abroad participate in the Future City Competition, which increases their motivation and excitement about STEM subjects.
An independent evaluation of the program in 2016 found that 68% of participants could see themselves becoming an engineer; 69% wanted to keep doing more engineering activities or clubs; 73% reported that Future City made them more aware of civics issues like politics and taxes; and 89% claimed Future City helped them appreciate all of the engineering that goes into a city.
