Become a BSCES STEM Outreach Sponsor

Partner with BSCES to Promote STEM Education to Students

The Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section/ASCE (BSCES) is dedicated to helping to support and promote the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math through STEM education. Led by our Public Awareness & Outreach Committee, BSCES has a group of over 100 regular volunteers that mentor students, run activities and talk at schools, conduct tours, take in job shadows, and perform many other activities. We are most famous for running two major events: 

New England Regional Future City Competition
Over 30 teams of students from all corners of New England are already working on the challenge for this year. They are asked to create their dream city of the future and explain how it works using logic, scientific basis, and sound engineering principles. They create a virtual model of their cities using Sim City software, make a scale model using recyclables, create a seven-minute presentation and answer questions from panels of judges. The main event takes place January 22, 2022. 

Model Bridge Contest
This contest is in its 31st year and challenges close to 100 teams of students, grades 5-12, to build a 3 1/2-foot span bridge of a “surprise” material, with new specifications prepared annually. While the competition may be largely virtual with bridge judging occurring on February 5, 2022, we will be sure to create a wonderful experience for every student participant!
