Calling all engineers, builders, entrepreneurs and civic-leaders. Help your community and design a city of the future. Use your engineering skills, creativity and knowledge about the place you live to plan, build and 'tinker' the kind of city you want to see in the future - and all to scale. Light the streets, create public and residential zones, designate eco-spaces, prepare for natural disasters and build all the places you need to help your community thrive. At the showcase, on the last afternoon of camp, all are invited to tour your city and you can show the world your innovations.

Create a small model of your family home. Create a game that tells your story. Create a model showing what you will be when you are grown up. Create all of these.
