\nCHICAGO (WBBM) –<\/strong> A team of three teens from Lemont High School is working designs for a 100-story high-rise building named the “Lighthouse” as Illinois’ entry into the International Skyscraper Challenge coming up in April at the Illinois Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

\nDesign team leader Kathy Sitko says blue and black solar panels will swirl up the sides of the building which will use rainwater collected for cooling and to replenish fountains inside and outside the building.<\/p>\n

\nSitko is working on the project along with Mark Kaminski and Zymante Petrusevichiute. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nThey teamed up in teacher Scott Duensing’s CAD II Honors class at Lemont High School whose team last year won: “Top Model Presentation” at in the Architectural competition.<\/p>\n

\nSitko says she’d like to see herself as the next Donald Trump because she admires the buildings he puts up.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\nShe says she has traveled regularly to downtown Chicago to watch progress of Trump Tower, now open on the north side of the Chicago River.<\/p>\n
