The Future City Competition is a national program sponsored by the engineering community to promote technological literacy and engineering to middle school students. The program fosters an interest in math, science, and engineering through hands-on, real world applications. The competition is open to all public, private and parochial schools. The National Finals of the Future City Competition are a featured event during National Engineers Week, with students from across the country competing in Washington, D.C. The Future City Competition offers students a fun way to learn about engineering and cities of the future.

The competition employs a team-based approach. Each team consists of three students, a teacher-sponsor and an engineer-mentor. All members of the team have a role that is necessary for the successful completion of the project.

The Northern California Regional Competition is held at NASA Ames Research Cetner at Moffett Field in Mountainview on January 26th 2008( map ) on Saturday, January 26, 2008.
