What is
Future City?

Future City is a hands-on cross-curricular educational program that brings STEM to life for students in grades 6 through 12.

Doing Things That Engineers Do, Students Build Cities of the Future.

Using the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and project management skills, students showcase their solutions to a citywide sustainability issue. The 2026-2027 challenge asks students to design a city that prevents, protects against, and recovers from urban wildfires.

“Students research, write, build, think, and work as a team. We have lots of clubs at my school, but I think Future City is the most inclusive of all the things we try to teach our kids.”
