INTRODUCTION

In this final stage of the Future City Project, you will present your solution like a real engineer.

Throughout this project, you identified a real-world problem, explored ideas, designed a solution, built a prototype, and tested it using the scientific method. Please bring everything together to showcase your work and impact.

Engineers don’t just build solutions — they also communicate their ideas clearly to others. Your goal is to present your thinking, your design, and your results in a way that others can understand and be inspired by.

You will create a complete project showcase including:

• A presentation board

• A 3D prototype model

• A Padlet post to explain and share your project

This is your opportunity to share your idea with others and demonstrate how your solution can make a difference.

learning objectives

I can:

• Explain my problem, solution, and impact clearly

• Show how my idea developed through the engineering design process

• Describe how I used testing and data (scientific method) to improve my design

• Build a physical or digital 3D model of my solution

• Create a clear and organized presentation board

• Communicate my project using a Padlet post

• Reflect on what I learned and how I would improve my design

Final Deliverables (What You Must Complete)

🪧 1. Presentation Board

Your board should clearly explain your project:

Include:

• Title of your project

• The problem

• Who you are helping (your client)

• Your “How Might We” statement

• Your solution

• Design sketches or diagrams

• Testing results (data, observations)

• Final improvements

🏗 2. 3D Prototype Model

Build a model of your solution using available materials or digital tools.

Your model should:

• Represent your idea clearly

• Show how your solution works

• Highlight key features of your design

💻 3. Padlet Post (Digital Explanation)

Create a post that explains your project.

Include:

• A short explanation of your problem

• Images of your prototype

• A short video or written explanation of your solution

• What you learned

• How does your solution help people

🎤 Presentation (Optional but Recommended)

Be ready to present your project:

• Explain your idea in 1–2 minutes

• Answer questions about your design

• Share what makes your solution unique

🧠 Reflection (Built-In)

Think like an engineer:

• What worked well?

• What challenges did you face?

• How did testing help improve your design?

• What would you change next time?
