About
Future City Competition - The National Engineers Week Future City Competition is an innovative design/build-learning program that guides middle school students to better understand the practical applications of mathematical and scientific principles. In fiscal year 2019, more than 45,000 middle school students in more than 1,000 schools from 40 regions across the U.S. joined in what has become one of the nation's largest engineering education programs and one of the most successful educational outreach programs of any kind. Notably, 7,500 engineers volunteer for the competition and about 225,000 service hours are given annually to DiscoverE programs. Future City invites students, working under the guidance of teachers and volunteer engineers, to build computer and three-dimensional scale models of cities of tomorrow. Students defend their designs before a panel of engineer judges and write an essay on a predetermined topic. Students begin work in the fall and participate in regional competitions in January. First place regional teams win a trip to Washington, D.C. for national finals during National Engineers Week.
