NAWIC Block Kids!
WHAT IS BLOCK KIDS?
The Block Kids Building Contest was developed by the National Association of Women in Construction
(NAWIC). The purpose of the contest is to educate elementary students and promote interest in the
construction industry. The contest is run much like a modern day construction project, with the contractors
(children) registering with the construction managers before going over to the supplier to receive material for
the building contest. Each contractor is then led to his or her job site by a foreman, where he or she will build a
construction project. Projects will be judged by building inspectors on the basis of originality and explanation
of the project. All participants will be using plastic interlocking building blocks and other materials. There will
be a first place winner from each grade level and the overall winner from the five finalists will have their project
submitted to the regional competition to compete at regional and national levels. The project should be
construction related such as buildings, structures or equipment used in construction. The ideas are endless.

The Need

- Introducing Skills Dakota, mobile training trailers that combine tools and training in the areas of carpentry and concrete finishing.
- The skills learned through Skills Dakota will help fill the needed construction jobs in SD!
Who Benefits?
- Young people who aren't aware of what jobs exist in construction/people who do not understand the variety of construction related positions.
- Parents who want their children to be exposed to a variety of career options.
