K - 12 Programs

Block Kids Competition
The Block Kids competition was designed in an effort to create an awareness of the construction industry as a career opportunity for elementary school age children. This contest provides an opportunity for children to build any structure their imagination can create using 100 interlocking building blocks. The kids get to learn more about different construction jobs as their entries are judged by industry professionals, such as: Architects, Contractors, Engineers, and Sub-contractors. Prizes are awarded locally and the winner sent to the regional competition.

Cad Drafting Competition
These programs are for high school students who are given a problem and hand-draft or use CAD to design blueprints for the structure to fit the perameters of the problem. The local winners will then compete with others at the regional competition, and then these winners will advance to the National competition.
