The 2018 Project Citizen National Showcase displays the know-how of students to solve their own local problems through civic engagement. Students from Florida to Alaska tackled problems in their communities. The National Showcase took place in Calabasas, California, on July 25 and 26, 2018. Sixteen projects in both the traditional and digital formats were submitted, dealing with a variety of topics from housing, to creative city recycling, to dealing with failing online schools and so much more. The passion and commitment of these students affirms that our communities are in very good hands. The achievement levels for this year's participants are as follows:
