1 Capital District, NY December 29, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Capital District Region Middle Schoolers Compete in Future City Regional Finals Saturday, January 13, for a Chance to Win a Grand Prize in Washington, D.C. This Year s Theme is: The Age Friendly City Albany, New York Long-held assumptions about aging are being radically redefined. Older adults are living longer, staying in the workplace longer, and living independently for longer than ever. The population is also growing and altering society s overall demographics. By 2050, older adults will outnumber children under the age of 14. The award-winning Future City Competition, now in its 26 th year, is asking middle school students to respond to the issue of The Age-Friendly City by designing innovative solutions that can serve an urban area s older population. Students are tasked with identifying age-related issues in their city and to engineer a framework that enables seniors to remain active, independent, and engaged. The Capital District competition will be held on Saturday, January 13 th at The Armory at Sage College in Albany. In the Capital District region, there are 28 schools and organizations with a total of 30 teams competing in the Future City Regional Finals. There are approximately 400 local students participating in the competition this year. Our regional students join more than 40,000 middle school students from 1,350 schools in 40 regions around the country, all of whom are engaged in similar competitions. First place winners from each qualifying regional competition receive a trip to the Future City Competition Finals in Washington, D.C., February 17-21, 2018, during Engineers Week. Teams/schools competing in this year s competition include: Name of School County Acadia Middle School Shenendehowa Central Saratoga Ballston Spa Middle School Ballston Spa Central Saratoga Blessed Sacrament School Blessed Sacrament School Albany Broadalbin-Perth Middle School Broadalbin-Perth Central Fulton 1 P age

9 Rules & Guidelines CAPITAL DISTRICT FUTURE CITY COMPETITION What is the Future City Competition? Future City is a competition for middle school students (6 th, 7 th and 8 th graders) to use their creative and innovative imaginations to design a city of the future. Students work with their teacher and an engineer (a volunteer mentor from the community) to design and build their city. Students apply math, science, engineering and technology knowledge to their projects, and at the same time enhance their writing and presentation skills. Three students represent their team with their teacher and engineer mentor at the Regional Competition, which is scheduled for Saturday, January 13, 2018 at The Armory at the Sage College in Albany, NY. These three students present their team s 3-D city model and compete for locallysponsored specialty awards and prizes as well as the Regional Title. The winner of the Regional Competition will receive a trip to Washington, DC to compete in the National Finals on February 17 21, Last year s local awards and prizes totaled over $7,000. Requirements & Scoring: Project Plan 10 Virtual City Design using SimCity 48 City Essay (max words) with a focus on what makes your city unique and an assigned engineering related topic 60 City 3-D Model showing a section of the city 70 Team Oral Presentation of the city design, model, and essay topic focus 70 TOTAL POINTS 258 The Teacher (Coach) The teacher will lead their team of students throughout the process. Dedicated time is up to each individual teacher. Estimated time 2-4 hours/week. Teachers are responsible for working with the mentor to co-advise the team of students. How do I get matched with a mentor? The first step is to register on the National website: Materials including the handbooks and software will be sent to the teacher. The Planning Committee will assist in the search for a mentor for your team, although many teams discover their mentors through parents/friends. Mentors Mentors are local volunteers from the science/ engineering/technology fields who are dedicated to helping their assigned team 2-4 hours a week. As the team s advisor, the mentor provides valuable input and technical assistance. Mentors are responsible for drawing connections between academics and the real world of engineering. Mentors provide enthusiasm and leadership. Students MUST do all the work. Teachers and mentors coach, guide and teach the students to design the city, build the city, write the essay and abstract, and prepare for the verbal presentation.
10 CAPITAL DISTRICT FUTURE CITY COMPETITION Rules & Guidelines The Future City Competition is a program that is open to 6 th, 7 th and 8 th grade students. Students from the same school, home school or members of the same nationally, regionally, or state recognized youth focused organization are encouraged to form a team and design a city of the future. Step 1: PROJECT PLAN (10 pts) Follow the template in the handbook and at to set goals for your project, define a schedule, conduct check-ins, and reflect on your experience. Points are earned for submitting the plan. Step 2: DESIGN THE CITY (48 pts) Students will use SimCity software in offline mode to develop a logical design of a city in the future with a population of 20,000 Sims or greater. The city may be built in ANY region. There are no restrictions on the environment, location or celestial body where the city exists. Do not use sandbox mode and turn off random disasters. Students should try to build their city without using cheat codes. Students choose two goals and document the development and progress towards meeting these goals in their Virtual City. Complete the Virtual City Presentation Template in PowerPoint, Word, or Google Slides. The deliverable is a PDF of the final presentation template showing screenshots at 2 phases of the city s development. Templates may be found at (filter for SimCity). Status will be updated at Phase I: Sim population between 8,000 20,000 and Phase II: Sim population greater than 20,000. Select a city name to be used on all requirements of the competition. Step 3: CITY ESSAY (60 pts) The team will write an Essay (max words) describing the city s key features, design attributes, infrastructure, public services and engineering solution to this year s assigned engineering related topic. This year s topic is The Age-Friendly City: Identify an age-related challenge that exists in today's urban environments and engineer two innovative solutions that allow your future city's senior citizens to be as active and independent as they want to be. At least 3 sources of information must be cited on the essay reference page using Modern Language Association (MLA) format (Wikipedia may not be used as a reference). Place the word count at the end of the document. Word count does not include the title and reference list, but does include captions of graphics and illustrations. A maximum of 4 graphics and illustrations are allowed.
11 Rules & Guidelines CAPITAL DISTRICT FUTURE CITY COMPETITION Step 4: BUILD THE CITY (70 pts) The team will build a 3-D Model of a section of their city. The model is a creative representation that best represents the team s vision of a section of their city (similar to the computer design) and is not required to look exactly like the computer design. The model may be no larger than 25 (W) x 50 (L) x 20 (H). These max dimensions include all support braces, material hanging below or beyond the tabletop, and any fully extended parts, such as access doors or hinged pullouts. National weight requirements encourage the shipping container and model weigh <75lbs. Model must contain at least one moving part (ie. transportation, power generation, communications, etc.). Designing your own moving part, or creatively modifying an existing item, will earn more points than using a prefabricated or purchased item. Power sources must be self-contained. The model must be built to scale as defined by the team. A max of 2 scales may be used. Students will choose the materials for building the model. Material costs for the model, presentation, etc. may not exceed $100 (cash and in-kind). Students are encouraged to use recycled items. All items used in the model and presentation must be listed with values on the Expense Form with receipts where applicable. No vertical models. No perishable items, live animals, hazardous items, electrical floor or wall outlets, or audio may be used in the model. Include a 4 x 6 Model Identification Index Card to be displayed next to the model including: a) the city name, b) scale(s) used for the model, c) school/organization name and d) names of the three presenting students, educator and mentor. Step 5: COMMUNICATE RESULTS (70 pts) The team will prepare a verbal presentation of their city (max. 7 minute presentation, with a 5-8 minute question/answer period). Presentations should be well polished. Students may use visual aids, such as flip charts, foam boards, poster boards, etc. that adhere to standard sizes (24" (W) x 36" (H) for poster boards, 25" (W) x 30" (H) for flip charts). A maximum of two boards may be displayed at any one time. The size does not include the easel, which will be provided. Other Demonstration Aids: accessories, small mock-ups, etc. used to assist with the presentation must collectively fit within a 6 x 6 x 12 volume (shoe box). If the team chooses to provide handouts, they are limited to one 8.5 x11 sheet of paper. All demonstration aids including handouts and costumes must be included on the Expense Form as part of the $100 maximum. Laptops, DVD/video players, audio equipment, etc. may not be used for the presentation. Please see the handbook for scoring deductions. Deductions will be applied when necessary.
