Welcome to the Colorado portal for the National Engineers Week Future City Competition. Future City is sponsored by the engineering community to promote Engineering and Technological interest to middle school students. The program develops keys skills in math, science, and engineering through creative, hands-on, real world applications.

The program is open to all 7th and 8th grade students nationwide. Click here to download a competition brochure.

The mission of the National Engineers Week Future City Competition is to provide a fun and exciting educational engineering program for seventh- and eighth-grade students that combines a stimulating engineering challenge with a "hands-on" application to present their vision of a city of the future.

This will be accomplished by:

• Fostering engineering skills, such as teamwork, communication and problem solving skills;
• Providing interaction among students, teachers, and engineer mentors;
• Informing the community about the multi-disciplines within the engineering profession;
• Inspiring students to explore futuristic concepts and careers in engineering.

The National Engineers Week Future City Competition requires:

• Problem-solving
• Team work
• Research and presentation skills
• Practical math and science applications
• Computer skills

The competition employs a team-based approach. All members of the team have an important role that is necessary for the completion of the project.
