Future City Project Approach National Competition Student’s Approach
Learn about cities Brainstorm & design Build City on SimCity® Design and Build Model
6 Teams of 7&8th Grade Students Kept design notebooks

MESA Project (Math, Engineering and Science Achievement)
After-School Based 5 teams
Roller Coaster Team
Cooling Hat Team
Hydropower Challenge
Engineering Design Challenge
Air Rocket Team
All teams track changes on notebooks

Discussion
Students able to engineer projects Designed, built and maintained cities Not able to attend competition STEM Class moved to after school
science club MESA teams are formulated with
different students Competition is April 12th

Conclusion
Students enjoy hands-on projects Students are happy to compete
academically More exposure, more involvement
More exposure leads to talent discovery
Mentors are impactful Higher education

Future Work
Create a solid curriculum for after school program Similar to that of the STEM Class
Enhance the Engineering Design Process
Develop more projects for Fall aside from Future City
Is exposure at a young age a deciding factor? Further research needed
Target other schools in different part of the valley with same project See whether interest rises in same grade in
another part of valley
