In an effort to address waste and pollution-related challenges that may exist 100 years from now in our urban environments, Valley Catholic Middle School students were tasked with the challenge of engineering a waste-free city that uses the principles of a circular economy. Future City is a project-based learning program and competition where students research, design, and build cities of the future. Four teams represented Valley Catholic at the Regional Virtual Future City Competition on Saturday, Jan. 22.
