Celebrating Our Success at the Future City Competition in Boise: January 10, 2026

We are incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding performance at the Future City Competition in Boise, a nationwide STEM program that challenges students to imagine, design, and build cities of the future. Throughout the project, students researched real-world problems, applied engineering and science concepts, worked within design constraints, and collaborated as teams to create innovative, sustainable city solutions.

At the competition, students presented detailed city models, essays, and presentations to judges, defending their design choices and explaining how their cities addressed challenges such as sustainability, transportation, land use, and resource management. The experience required critical thinking, teamwork, public speaking, and creativity—skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

👏 Team Coastopia earned the Tap to Tributary Award, recognizing exceptional water resource management from drinking water to wastewater through smart, sustainable design. Coastopia also placed an impressive 4th overall in a highly competitive field.

🚍 Team Green Leaf City received the Most Multimodal Transportation Network Award for designing a transportation system that effectively integrates multiple public and private transportation modes to move people efficiently.

🌱 Team STEM City was honored with the Root to Resilience Award, celebrating a city design that bridges past and future by integrating local farming traditions, smart land stewardship, and opportunities for community farming and shared growing.

Congratulations to all of our Future City students for their hard work, innovation, and professionalism. They represented our school with pride and showed what’s possible when learning is hands-on, purposeful, and future-focused!
