Philadelphia
Future City Philadelphia Engineering Fair
October 2020
The Future City City Steering Committee assembled a group of scientists and engineers who are working on space related projects to present a series of webinars that we think the students will find interesting and educational. Our volunteer speakers come from NASA, space advocacy groups, and industry. The webinars were presented live and run for about an hour including the question and answer session.
Videos of the webinars from the 2020 Future City Engineering Fair are posted on our YouTube Channel. . Links to the videos, presentation decks, speaker bios, articles on Lunar development and other related resources are also in the table below. Note that at the bottom of the table there is a link to the 2020 Lunar Development Conference's 43 videos on YouTube.
The 2020—2021 Future City Theme is Living on the Moon.
At night, surrounded by stars or clouds, the Moon looks distant and lifeless. However, it holds a place of unique beauty and dominance in the sky and has been inspiring humanity for eons. Dreamers of all kinds—artists, science fiction writers, scientists, engineers—have imagined a thriving city on the Moon, one with healthy people and a resourceful, sustainable ecosystem. New ideas are constantly being dreamed up and tested.
The Competition Challenge:
Design a future lunar city and provide examples of how your city uses two Moon resources to keep your citizens safe and healthy.
