Future City Team had a wonderful camp last weekend.
Students enjoyed the great study environment and worked on the virtual cities
that they created for the competition.Students created their virtual cities
using SimCity software. Final version of their Future City project is to
reflect progress 150 years into the future and should have a population of
60,000 people at least.The software game is a wonderful opportunity for
students to see how a city is run and all the things involved in development of
a city.
Students also worked on their essay that is addressing
this year's theme of "Feeding Future Cities." According to the this
year's theme students are to choose one vegetable and one protein and design a
way to grow enough of each within their future city limits to feed their
citizens. After searching through websites students learned a lot about
nutrition values of various vegetables,many farming techniques,problems
humankind facing as the world population is growing and solutions for them.
