Update, January 2021
The Nevada regional competition is canceled in 2021. Unfortunately no teams submitted deliverables to compete. We look forward to seeing you this fall.
—————
Hello Teachers & Students, I hope you are staying safe and doing well!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty surrounding the school year and extracurricular activities, Future City has been restructured so that teams can complete the deliverables in-person (i.e. in a classroom or after-school program) or remotely (i.e. collaborating online while learning from home). The competitions (regionals and Finals) will also take place online, rather than in-person.
The regional virtual competition will be held on Saturday, February 13, 2021.
Virtual City (SimCity): No longer a required deliverable. Teams can use SimCity as an educational tool (codes will be provided) but nothing is submitted or scored.
Project Plan: No Change! Teams complete a project plan to help them plan and organize their project. (10 points) - Due Friday, January 8, 2021
City Essay: No Change! Design a lunar city and provide examples of how your city uses two Moon resources to keep your citizens safe and healthy. (58 points) - Due Friday, January 8, 2021
City Model: Important Updates! Teams build a physical model of their future city (to scale) using recycled materials. Teams may create a single model OR multiple model segments. Then using the provided template, teams will submit a PDF slideshow containing photos and accompanying descriptions of their model prior to the Regional Competition. (65 points) - Due Friday, January 15, 2021
City Video Presentation: Important Updates! Teams record a 7-minute video presentation about their city. The recorded video is due prior to the virtual Regional Competition and the question-and-answer session will be separate (see below). (50 points) - Due Friday, January 22, 2021
Newly Separate City Q&A: No longer part of the City Presentation, the City Q&A has its own rubric this year. In order to maintain the interaction between students and professionals that makes Future City so special, teams will have an expanded 10-minute question-and-answer session with judges from the engineering, technical, and city design fields. Sessions will be conducted live via a video conferencing platform and scheduled by your Regional Coordinator. (25 points) - Due: To be Determined
