The world is changing rapidly—what will our cities look like a century from now? Challenged with real issues such as overcrowding and climate change, students will use the engineering design process to create innovative solutions. You will imagine, draft, and build a model city one hundred years in the future using recycled materials. How will you generate clean water and renewable energy sources? What type of infrastructure and public spaces will you construct? Explore these and other questions as you design a city of 2126!
