The Future City Competition starts with a question – How can we make the world a better place?  To answer it, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability issue. Past topics include stormwater management, urban agriculture, and green energy.  This year’s theme is “The Power of Public Space”.  This year’s competition will be taking place on Saturday, January 21st at UPEI’s new School of Sustainable Design Engineering. The students submitted an essay, worked with Sim City computer software, make a working model and present to a team of judges. The public are welcome from 12:30-3:00 pm to come see some of the cool designs by students from eight Prince Edward Island Schools.
