CHATHAM, NJ — Three Chatham Middle School students envisioned a lunar city in the year 2121. They have a century to make it happen, but the design brought them a New Jersey Future City Regional title.
Eighth-graders Priyanka Patel, Ishita Yadav and Dhiren Holland envisioned Helianthus — a revolutionary city cradled in the lava tubes of the highland terrain of Philolaus Crater in Saturday's competition.
Using resources helium-3 and lunar ice, the engineers imagined a vibrant multi-national city featuring a pressurized plaza, vertical farms, nanobot technologies and gene modification. You know, typical eighth-grade stuff.
