Have an idea to build a better city?
Competitors in the National Engineers Week Future City Competition create - first on computer and then in large, three-dimensional models - their visions of a city of tomorrow. You'll need to put together a team consisting of three students from same school, an engineer-volunteer, and a teacher.
Interested in Robots?
In FIRST LEGO League Teams of kids 9 to 14 years old use LEGO bricks, sensors, motors and gears to construct and program fully autonomous robots capable of completing different missions while maneuvering around a 4 foot-by-8 foot FLL Playing Field. The FLL season culminates with one-day tournaments that take place throughout the United States during December. In high school you can participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
Like learning about other cultures and countries?
Check with your school about participating in the National Geographic Bee. Each school winner takes a written test, and the top hundred scorers in each state and territory compete at the state level. State-level Bees are held in the spring, and the winner of each state Bee proceeds to the national competition.
