Regional Competition Roundup
Despite the freezing cold temperatures on Saturday, January 20, 2024, the Pittsburgh Regional Future City Competition went off without a hitch!
Thanks to the efforts of our judges and volunteers we had a terrific day, filled with student model displays and presentations! During the morning session, our sponsoring judges were able to identify numerous Special Awards Winners while teams presented their models to the panels of Judges. Ā Following lunch, schools were announced by team name upon arrival into the General Assembly, and each participant was presented with a Future City medal to acknowledge their participation. From there, the Special Awards winners, and the three Finalists were announced. Finalists then returned to present their model to our panel of Finalist Judges. After Judge scoring and deliberations, the Competition winners were announced!
Thank you again to all of the participants and we hope to see you again for the 2024-2025 Future City Competition.
