Welcome to Future City: Embark on an exciting journey to tackle real-world sea level rise by designing innovative floating cities for a sustainable tomorrow!
Using the power of the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and project management skills, you'll tackle real-world sustainability issues, including the challenges of sea level rise, and showcase your innovative solutions to create a resilient and sustainable future for all.
This camp will feature the 2024-2025 Missouri High School Future City Team, in addition to S&T faculty and K12 working professionals who strive to inspire and inform present and future generations to discover engineering and engage students, parents, and educators in hands-on experiences while making science and math relevant.
Campers will tour the Rolla downtown area (e.g., City Hall, RMU, Fire Department, Police Department, Hospital) and visit with key city planners and administrators.
The principles that guide this camp include:
- All of us are stronger than any one of us
- We provide access to all
- This camp helps create a united voice
- The engineering design process brings out the engineer in each of us
- Mentors and role models are crucial to attract and retain people in engineering
Activities include:
• learn how to design and program in VR to model a city of the future
