Additional support for this local program was provided by National PMI; congratulations to Wheatland Center Elementary’s Apoloo team for achieving this year’s Outstanding Project Plan award!

This year, teams tackled the Climate Change Challenge by choosing a climate change impact and designing one innovative and futuristic climate change adaptation and one mitigation strategy to keep their residents healthy and safe. The Chapter is proud to partner with PMI, PMI-EF, STEM Forward, DiscoverE, and the Future City Competition to help keep project management front and center to answer an authentic, real-world question: How can we make the world a better place?

Congratulations to the The City of Slayijing team from Glen Hills Middle School who got to travel to Washington, DC for the Future City Competition Finals in February!
