Dear Members,

The South Carolina Future City Competition is a great outreach event for teams of middle school students and their teachers and engineering mentors.

Teams build their vision of future cities under a particular theme and challenge set by the competition’s national organizers. Future City is one of the many initiatives of National Engineers Week by DiscoverE. DiscoverE is a coalition of more than 100 STEM organizations, including IEEE-USA.

The IEEE Columbia Section is once again supporting this outreach program and, as in 2014, 2015 and 2016, will award the team with the “Best Distribution of Energy” and donate $750 to the event. To place this award, at least three Columbia Section judges are needed on Saturday, January 21, 2017 to select the winning middle-school team.

If you have any questions, please email r3-columbia@ieee.org.

If you are interested in participating as a judge, please sign-up below by December 31, 2016.
