Future City

Tuscaloosa City Schools will be participating in the Future City Competition this year. Using the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and project management skills, students showcase their solutions to a city-wide sustainability issue. This year’s challenge asks students build a floating city and provide two innovative examples of how your floating city works and keeps its citizens healthy and safe.

Future City, which took place Jan. 25 this year, is an international competition that focuses on improving students' math, engineering, and science skills. As part of the program, students focus on sustainability and applying STEM principles to solve real-world challenges, often incorporating futuristic technologies. It involves research, design, essay writing, and a physical model presentation.

Student teams were limited to a budget of no more than $100 for the entire project.

This year’s theme was “Above the Current”. Students were challenged to design a floating city and provide two innovative examples of how their floating city works and keeps its citizens healthy and safe.
