Future City Competition needs Volunteer Mentors for: “The Power of Public Space”
6th – 8th grade students will design and build “cities of the future,” visually with SimCity software and physically by creating a tabletop scale model. Students research and write an essay on the engineering challenge. The preparation culminates in a competition on January 21, 2017 at the Dunwoody College of Technology.
Mentors help the students focus on good urban design, the Public Space theme, and imaginative solutions. You would help with the model, teaching about scale, advising on their presentation.
Contact the University Retirees Volunteer Center [email protected] for further information on the competition theme and being a mentor. Subsequently we will seek judges for the January competition.
