Previously, our regional competition was held in January at the MSOE Kern Center. We are excited to announce our new location in 2027 at WCTC-Pewaukee. All teams have models, presentations, and Q&A sessions scored by competition judges. The top five teams from our preliminary round will be judged in our finals round to determine our champion, representing the region at the Championship in Washington, D.C.

The Future City Competition is a project-based learning activity introducing students to project management and the Engineering Design Process.
Participating in this program allows students to apply math, science, and engineering concepts to tackle real-world problems through robust deliverables.
Register today, and implement the program in your school or after-school club.

Mentors
We are currently looking for mentors to support teams as a sounding board for their projects. Your experience will show them a connection to a STEM career while providing valuable guidance in their projects.
The mentor commitment is flexible from September through January and will be scheduled based on the availability of you, the teacher, and students.
Register today or contact Kaity Thompson for more information at kthompson@stemforward.org.
