The McLean Middle School Future City team (coached by Mr. Boley) competed on Saturday in the North Texas Regional competition at UT Arlington.  There were 57 teams from across North Texas competing.  There are four aspects to the competition:

1. The team has to design a computer model of a city of the future using the SimCity software

2. The team has to write an abstract and essay explaining the features of their city in areas such as energy usage and distribution, transportation, water, education, healthcare, recreation, etc

3. The team has to create a physical model of the city using all recycled materials (our team used ink cartridges, keyboard keys, old trophies, etc)

4. The team has to give a 7 minute presentation of their city to a panel of engineer judges followed by a question and answer session

The combined score from each of the 4 categories is tallied and the McLean team came in first!  As the winner, the team is invited (all expenses paid) to travel to Washington DC during National Engineers Week to compete in the national competition.  This will take place in mid February. 

The team consisted of the following McLean 8th graders: Emily Yurk, Wyatt Reeves, Paul Ryu, Junsok Ko and Maddy Moore

Many 7th graders participated to gain experience for next year.

The top 7th and 8th grade Team Times will get a very unique prize for their hard work.
