Block Kids Event

Description

The Construction Industry faces a workforce shortage that poses a serious problem for our national economy. In order to meet the demand for construction, the industry needs to attract, educate and train about 240,000 newcomers annually.

The Block Kids Programs introduces children to the construction industry in an effort to create an awareness of and to promote an interest in future careers in one of the many facets of the industry. This is a national building competition which is sponsored by NAWIC Chapters and other organizations that wish to promote children in grades K-12 about construction careers.

Participants are asked to create something construction related without adult help or guidance using approved materials provided for participants.
