Congratulations to our eighth graders moving on to the Future City State competition, and to our All-Stars, who really went above and beyond working in their groups!<\/p>\nCongratulations to our eighth graders moving on to the Future City State competition, and to our All-Stars, who really went above and beyond working in their groups!<\/p>\n
The Future City Competition combines a dedication to sustainability with a commitment to the project’s hard work. It requires a 1500-word essay, a 2\u2019x4\u2019 3D model with working parts, a presentation to a group of industry experts, and a Q&A session with said experts. There are rubrics for each deliverable, so the top three teams are decided strictly on points.<\/p>\n
The spirit of collaboration is strong within the Future Cities project, from students working together on a team to utilizing interdisciplinary skills among them. Mr. Milam notes that “one of the coolest parts of this project is that it is a collaboration between my class, Ms. Atchison’s class, Ms. MacPhail’s class, and with Mr. Braafladt in the Makerspace.<\/p>\n
Another collaborative factor is the strength of the All-Star group. All-Stars come from non-winning teams (teams who placed fourth through tenth) and are placed on one of the top three teams to help them prepare for State. For example, if a student was really good at building the model, they would be placed on a team going to State that needs help specifically with their model.<\/p>\n
