A workshop for engineering mentors has been scheduled for August 23, 2010. The time and location haven’t been determined yet. The workshop will be held by Dr. David James, who was the mentor to the 2009 and 2010 winning Southern Nevada Future City teams. You can RSVP by signing up as a mentor and we will contact you with more information as the workshop approaches.
We also have a flyer to post to recruit other mentors.

Did you know you can help the Southern Nevada Future City Competition by donating your old electronics? Gazelle accepts old electronics and you can donate the proceeds to the Future City Competition. All electronics will be resold or recycled – really recycled – not sent to a landfill or overseas to be dumped in the desert. Gazelle recycles cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, video games, calculators and more!
Gazelle will send you a box, with free return shipping to send your product back to them. They have a video explaining their process. Sign up today and clear out that garage or desk drawer and help the Southern Nevada Future City Competition!
