Gear up for Team Competitions!

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 Robotics?
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.
