ENGINEERING

What makes a city a city? Is it the people? The buildings? No, it’s the zoning! As your students’ cities grow, they must take into account multiple variables and plan ahead for a successful grid.

GOVERNMENT

Learn what makes a city go around! Students must build power plants, recycling centers, police stations and much more, and support these basic services with smart policies that serve their residents well.

BUDGETING

Students must master the art of budgeting or face the perils of bankruptcy. Raising taxes, applying for loans and planning expenditures are all crucial skills for running a city efficiently.
