Special Awards and Mentor Panel

Special Awards – To Be Announced
Special Awards are an optional benefit registered teams can take advantage of! Essays, models, and answers to special award-specific questions will be virtually judged by the sponsor to determine the winner of the Special Award!
2025-2026 Mentor Panel – To Be Announced
The 2024-25 Mentor Panel are dedicated to supporting all Future City High School teams on their journey through the competition.
How will they do that? Through a series of scheduled Mentor calls, students can engage with our Mentors to ask questions, gain technical guidance on critical theme topics, receive feedback on their designs as they navigate the Engineering Design Process to build their cities of the future and gain valuable insights on engineering careers.
Can’t attend the mentor sessions or have additional questions for our mentors? Official Future City High School team members can submit their questions to Maddy@DiscoverE.org throughout the season to be addressed by the Mentors.
