Then matched against 21 other regional winners in the National Competition, they won a special award for Best Protection of Environmental Resources. All three expect to pursue future studies and careers in computers and engineering. Their volunteer mentor is DC architect-engineer Tolu Odunlami. For the competition, students design a city of the future using SimCity 2000, then recreate it in a three-dimensional model made mostly of recycled materials.
Teams defend their design before a panel of engineers and also write an essay.
Dr. Terrell has set challenging standards for student achievement in all areas at R.H. Terrell, and most especially in mathematics and science. We congratulate Dr. Terrell, Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Odunlami, and most especially Timothy, Nicolas, and Tobi. Here s to this talented team s continuing success as they aim now for the very top prize nationally in next year s Future City competition.
