Universal recycling, windmills, and free health care were some of the features of cities designed by middle school students for Saturday’s Future City Competition at the N.C. State College of Engineering.
According to the N&O article,
The contest pairs professional engineer mentors with middle school students who build models of utopian cities. The idea is to foster technological literacy, while getting students jazzed about engineering.
I am all for getting students “jazzed about engineering,” but creating utopian cities based on liberal fantasies is an awful way to do it.
