The Dearborn Heights Montessori School in Dearborn Heights, MI was the winner of the Special Award for Incorporation of Plastic Materials sponsored by the Detroit SPE Section at the 2011 ESD Michigan Regional Future City Competition.  This future city is an ”Environmental Oasis for SKINTHESIS” (EOS) where people in need of prosthetic devices will get help from doctors to replace missing limbs with real muscle and skin tissue polymerized at EOS.  EOS is a self-sustaining environment with several functioning algae tanks made from super-light and transparent plastics for energy production and a complete recycling center for processing various plastics and other materials.
