The Missoula Organization of REALTORS® is working with Flagship after-school programs on an exciting new project called School of the Future Design Competition. Currently, two middle schools are participating with teams, Meadowhill and CS Porter. The students are designing a school based on future ideals of technology integration, community, and sustainability. The teams have met with several local businesses to learn more about what it takes to design a school…from purchasing property, to working with architects and engineers. They also discovered how much power their design concepts would require and learned more about how to reduce their power needs through clean energy technologies and sustainable living practices. The teams are working on building small scale models with 100% recycled materials this month.
