Launch Your Students' Future Today
Future City is a project-based engineering education program that challenges middle-school students to imagine, design, and build cities of the future.
Teams learn about the wonders of engineering, use the engineering design process to address civic and social issues, and become change-makers in their own communities.
Future City is going VIRTUAL for the 2020-2021 program cycle! Learn what that means and the changes we've made here.

Be a (Virtual!) Mentor Team mentors share their engineering and technical experience, act as a coach and leave a lasting impression on young team members. They act as role models to inspire team members' future careers and help translate academic concepts to the real world of engineering. This program cycle, we are encouraging virtual mentoring. You can mentor a team nearby or across the country, it's up to you! Learn more. |
