Future City

For the sixth consecutive year, M·E Companies will serve as the local host for the National Engineers Week Future City Competition - Ohio Region. The competition invites teams of 7th and 8th graders to create a city of the future using SimCity™ software, creating a map, and building a 3-D model of it. Students also write an abstract describing their city and an essay pertaining to the year's topic. Teams are judged on their oral presentation about the city, computer design and map, model, essay and abstract. Now in its second decade, the National Engineers Week Future City Competition reaches more than 30,000 students in 1,100 schools nationwide.
