Middle‑school Future Cities teams showcase floating‑city projects; Shenendehowa students win planning and connectivity awards
Summary
Middle‑school students presented models and described awards from a Future Cities competition, with judges recognizing best project planning, community connectivity and environmental stewardship.
Shenendehowa middle‑school students showcased their Future Cities models and explained features of a floating city design during the board meeting, where staff and students noted several awards won at the competition.
Students from multiple schools described roles they played in the project — wiring lights, building moving parts, constructing a helicopter model, painting backdrops and writing essays required by the contest. Joe Slinski, who coaches the district’s Future Cities team, accompanied students and introduced the group to the board.
Students reported the team earned awards including Best Project Plan and Excellence in Community Connectivity; presenters also mentioned recognition for environmental stewardship. Students described elements such as separable boats that can reconnect to a main hub after storms and a recreational water slide on the model.
Board members and the superintendent congratulated the students; the presentation also included photos and trophies and a brief question‑and‑answer exchange about team composition and mentorship.
