This Saturday, January 21, from 9 am to 12 noon, the Future City competition will be underway at the Carnegie Music Hall (this is the far right hand side of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History on Forbes Avenue).

Baden Academy students David Denkovich, John Ake, Blair McCombs, Logan Zutter, Devin Nairn, Angel Spect, Nathaniel Curry and Ava Valent with mentors Brenden Finn and Carrie Kennedy, have poured hours of time preparing their model and presentations for the big day.

Special thanks to Mat Davis for 3-D printing their unique Bright Light City Theatrical Dome (interior holograms can change the venue from the Globe Theater, to Heinz Field, to the Hogwart’s Quidditch Field).  Thanks are also extended to Almatis Inc for the extraordinary donation of recycled ceramics we used to make the city with.  Pieces were used to model buildings and fountains throughout the city.  And it couldn’t have been as successful without the guidance of Chelsea Iorfido in having the 6th grade work together on the essay portion of the competition.

Enjoy the pictures and stop by their table in the morning to cheer them on if your family has a day planned at the Museum!

(If you are coming to see the competition, park and proceed through the Carnegie Museums parking lot on Craig Street. Turn right into the parking lot. Parking is $6.00). Enter the Carnegie Music Hall at the rear door located in the parking lot area.
