Ohio Seventh and Eighth Graders Build Cities of the Future

Posted Thursday, January 28, 2010

Featured on Episode 17 of the 2009-2010 season

 

Teams from nineteen Ohio middle schools built cities of the future for the 2010 National Engineers Week “Future City" competition. The competition gives seventh- and eighth-graders the chance to build a city of the future using SimCity Four Deluxe software. Each team built a 3-D model of the city it created and wrote a description of its city.

A team from Bexley Middle School placed first, for the second year in a row. These kids will represent Ohio in the national Future City competition during National Engineering Week next month.

Second Place: St. Vincent de Paul School, Mt. Vernon
Third Place: Immaculate Conception Academy, Cincinnati
Fourth Place: St. Ambrose Middle School, Brunswick
Fifth Place: Morton Middle School, Vandalia
