DESCRIPTION

The National Engineers Week Future City™ Competition is a hands-on, real world learning experience for middle-schoolers designed to show them how engineers shape the world! Seventh and eighth grade students use their math, science, and problem-solving skills to create the world of tomorrow as they compete with other schools from around the country to see who can engineer the most innovative and inventive cities of the future.

Now in its 18th year, Future City is recognized by the education and engineering communities as one of the nation’s leading programs for enabling students to make the connection between math and science to engineering through its real world applications.

Online registration is now open for the 2009–2010 MN Future Cities Competition.

There will be a MN Teacher and Mentor Orientation, tentatively set for September 24, 3:30–5:30 pm.
Please contact Colleen Feller, Minnesota Regional FCC Coordinator, colleen.feller@metroecsu.org or 612-638-1511 for details.
