Block Kids
The Block Kids Building Program is a national building
program competition that is sponsored on the local level
by NAWIC chapters and other organizations. The
award-winning program 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. The program is open to
all elementary school children in grades 1-6. The
competition involves the construction of various structures
with interlocking blocks and three of the following
additional items: A small rock, string, foil and poster
board. Local winners advance to Regional Competition
and one semi-finalist from each region is entered in the
National Program competitions. National prizes are
awarded to the top three projects.
CAD Design/Drafting Competition
The CAD/Design/Drafting Competition is a contest
designed for senior high students. The contest provides
recognition to students for creative design, successful
problem solving and craftsmanship in preparing
architectural drawings. Entries are evaluated for detail,
accuracy and originality of work. Objectives of the contest
are to introduce the student to the construction industry in
a positive and challenging manner, while fostering a
sense of self worth and building confidence. Mentoring
programs between students and educators are also
encouraged. Each local sponsor is furnished with a
"Design Problem" that is designed by a licensed Architect
or Engineer and is generic enough to meet the needs of
all areas of the US and our international affiliates. Project
drawings must include a minimum: a floor plan, exterior
elevation and site plan and placement of structure.
National winners receive prizes.
