A team of students from Kirkland Middle School placed fifth at the Washington Future City regional competition, an event designed to foster interest in engineering, math and science through hands-on, real world applications. The regional competition took place on Jan. 24 at DigiPen. Students involved included Kevin Carlson (seventh grade), John DeVries (sixth grade), Riley Huston (eighth grade) and Alex Kartes (eighth grade).
This event attracted 37 teams from 16 different schools. The format of the competition included five scored elements: Computer design of a future city, model of future city, research essay, future city narrative and oral presentation.
The first three parts were submitted two weeks before competition day, and then the students brought their model and presentation to the DigiPen Campus in Redmond for public display and judging.
