Future City Competition

You may have read a few blogs ago when I mentioned that I was "Google Famous" for my mentoring a Future City Team at what is now Royal Oak Middle School. The competition for this year was yesterday Jan. 22nd and we managed to win again. It was a really close battle against the team that beat us the two years before we went to the national competition last year. However, our time won the Best Essay award so we think this must have given us the edge that we needed to win again this year.

So during Engineer's Week (February 17th - 23rd) we will be going to Washington DC again and competing in the National Future City Competition. Wish us luck. And look back I'll post a picture soon and the ESD web page should have pictures soon too. They have the list of winners listed already.
