When I was a middle schooler, I spent most of my time being generally unproductive. Well, a teenager from Mill Creek, WA has easily put all of my teenage accomplishments to shame before he’s even entered 9th grade. McKaulay Kolakowski, an 8th grader from Heatherwood Middle School, is putting the finishing touches on a self-produced video game, which features Seattle’s Famous monorail system. Kolakowski is hoping to finish working on his game before the 50th anniversary of the Monorail on March 24th. The fourteen-year-old became interested in the monorail while researching the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair: “I learned they pioneered the monorail design and that it can go up to 50 mph on its track, which is pretty amazing,” he said. “I thought the history of how it came to Seattle was interesting.” 
Once it has been completed, Kolakowski plans to ask the Seattle Center Monorail and Seattle Center websites to feature the game. He also plans to release it on his own personal website. By Josh Engen |
