    Future City 2025

    Future City is a project-based learning program where students in 6th, 7th, & 8th grades imagine, research, design, & build cities of the future. Future City starts with a question—how can we make the world a better place? To answer it, students build cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability issue. Past topics include stormwater management, urban agriculture, public spaces, & green energy.

    This year’s theme is Electrify Your Future. Teams will design a representation of a city being 100% electrically powered with energy generated from sources that keep citizens and the environment healthy and safe. Participants complete four deliverables: a 1,500-word city essay; a scale model built from recycled materials; a project plan; & a presentation to judges at Regional Competitions in January.

    The Houston Regional Competition will be held on January 18, 2025 at the NASA Gilruth Center (18600 Space Center Blvd, Houston, TX 77058).
