| Future City Competition 2009-2010 |

Mentors needed! As an Engineer Mentor in the National Engineers Week Future City Competition, you will give 7th and 8th grade students an opportunity to learn about engineering. Students who participate in the competition will create a city simulation in SimCity 4 Deluxe, build a scale model of a portion of the city, write an abstract about the city and an essay on sustainability, and recite an oral presentation to describe the merits of their creation. Your role as a mentor would be to give the students information on how engineers help design, build, and improve cities. As an Engineer Mentor, you will work with one teacher and three students from now through January of 2010. You will assist them with the design of their city, visiting the school once about every two weeks. Schools currently in need of a mentor: Kansas:
Missouri:
