Future City Competition

Saturday, January 21, 2017 - 08:00 AM

The Central Pennsylvania Future City Competition will be held on January 21, 2017 at the State Museum in Harrisburg. In the competition, students work with a teacher and engineering mentor as they create cities of tomorrow using SimCity software; build a large, 3-D tabletop model of recycled materials; write an essay; and create an oral presentation. More than 30,000 students from 1,100 schools participated in Future City last year. This year’s topic is: Public Spaces. We will once again send the winner of our competition to Washington, D.C. to compete nationally.

Here’s how you can help:

ENGINEERS: You can help out during the Competition by being a Judge.

COMPANIES: Companies can help with monetary donations or donations of prizes and small gifts for the students. All help is appreciated.

EVERYONE: Want to help, but not sure if you have the time available? Be a Volunteer the day of the competition! Volunteers will help keep things running smoothly the day of the Competition, including set-up, sign-in, and distribution of itineraries, lunch, and breakdown.
