Future City: 7th Grade iSTEM project
Our 7th grade class will be among the 40,000 students across the nation to take part in the Future City contest. This is an intensive project comprised of several parts, called deliverables: a SIM City module, a written city description, a project plan, a city model built to scale, and a 7-minute presentation. Many parts are due in December, but the model and presentation are shared at the NJ Region Competition to be held Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016. We are awaiting word on how many teams we may enter as it depends on the number of registered teams. Usually about 80 teams attend the competition.
This year's theme is: WASTE NOT, WANT NOT! The students are to imagine a city 100 years in the future and how the problem of all the waste generated by its inhabitants will be tackled. In addition to research into waste and recycling management, the students are encouraged to find creative trash solutions. We will be much of this project during school, but students are encouraged to do as much as they can at home as well, particularly research.
The teams will share their projects at our annual Science Fair in lieu of individual experiment and research projects.
