Why Participate? The Future City® Competition offers an unparalleled opportunity for students to dive into real-world engineering challenges, working collaboratively in teams to design, build, and present their vision for a city 100 years in the future. Middle school students will continue to compete for the grand prize: $7,500 for their school’s STEM program, sponsored by Bentley Systems. High school participants, now officially part of the competition, will have the chance to compete for valuable college scholarships.
