DFW FUTURE CITY COMPETITION
The Future City Competition - sponsored by National Engineers Week – is
designed to inspire 7-8th grade students with engineering by challenging them
to solve the real-world problems associated with building a livable city of the future.
Hundreds of North Texas students have been working hard since October on their
city concepts and will be bringing them to UTA, Nedderman Hall on Sat., Jan. 25.
We need about 10 volunteers to help with coordination for the 7-8th grade students
and the judges. Approx. time commitment - 6 hours
(8am - 2 pm: we'll provide danish in morning and lunch).
Come and see what these talented kids have in mind for the future and help
to inspire them into engineering school. Let Dr. Peterson know if you’re interested.
