The goal of the Special Award is to teach students to hone the skills that solve real-world problems. Now in its 14th year, Future City encourages interest in engineering by providing hands-on applications for math and science, and lays the foundation for developing workplace skills such as vision and imagination, troubleshooting, teamwork and cooperation. Volunteer mentors offer what is often a student's first glimpse into the world of engineering, a step in encouraging a career in the field.The AIAA NCS Special Award winning team was Chicago with the Future City “West Destiny.” The results will be posted on the AIAA NCS web site (http://www.aiaa-ncs.org)
