As we are winding up our jingle contest (have you voted yet?), we are launching a NEW contest. The American Academy of Environmental Engineers is challenging middle and high-school students to design a residential home that a family of four could comfortably live while taking advantage of sustainable design concepts such as energy efficiency, reusable natural resources, the sun and much more.

The top winner in each category will get a chance to present their submittal in Washington, D.C. during the USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo on the National Mall, October 23 and 24, 2010. The AAEE will sponsor one child representative, one school representative, and one parent from the winning submittal. Winners will be invited to attend the Expo on the Mall along with their projects and be prepared to explain their work and answer questions from the people passing by and participating in the Expo.
