Future City: January 22, 2021

-

 


Dedicated describes our students perfectly! These top three teams in our eighth grade made it past our school competition to compete at the state level this weekend for the largest engineering middle school national competition, Future City.


Today and tomorrow they are being interviewed by professionals from all over the state! They were not only tasked to create a futuristic city on Earth’s moon at least 100 years in the future but also to utilize two of the moon’s resources.


We are beyond proud and excited for them. Finishing a challenging multi-month national competition with many obstacles in the way was no easy task. These students have grit and determination.
