Students will be participating in the Future City Competition (Florida Regional Future City Competition).

What is this competition about? It is an annual NATIONAL ENGINEERS WEEK FUTURE CITY COMPETITION. This competition is now in its 17th Year and it focuses attention on the extraordinary potential of 12-to-14-year old girls and boys to become America's next generation of great scientists, inventors, and engineers. This competition requires participating students to use their creativity, ingenuity, and above all, their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to perform in certain projects.

What is MATHCOUNTS? MATHCOUNTS PROGRAM was introduced in 2007 for the Miami Dade Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society (FES) for their 25th anniversary. The MCP is a fun, challenging, and free program aimed at engaging a wide spectrum of students. MATHCOUNTS is a national enrichment, coaching and competition program that promotes middle school mathematics achievement through grassroots involvement in every U.S. state and territory. MATHCOUNTS is one of the country's largest and most successful education partnerships involving volunteers, educators, industry sponsors, and students.
