Middle School Students Celebrate Their Innovative Engineering Solutions at First-Ever Virtual Future City Competition Finals
WASHINGTON — The dream of living on the moon has inspired humanity for eons. Artists, writers, scientists, engineers, futurists, and many others have vividly imagined what a thriving city on the lunar surface might look like.
Since last fall, middle school students in 37 U.S. regions as well as teams in China, Canada, and Nigeria have imagined, designed, and built cities for the 2020-2021 DiscoverE’s Future City® competition. This year’s theme, Living on the Moon, challenges students to design life on the moon at least 100 years from now, when lunar habitats have already progressed through multiple levels of development.
