Block Kids 2011

NAWIC Southwest Florida Chapter 297
20th Annual Linda Hopkins Memorial Block Kids Program

Our Block-Kids Building Program is a national building program competition, designed by the NAWIC Education Foundation (NEF) that is sponsored on the local level by NAWIC chapters. The award winning program introduces children (Grade 1 to 6) to the construction industry. Block Kids is designed to stimulate Construction awareness and to promote a future career interest in our industry.

This 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. Our local winners advance to a Regional competition, and one semi-finalist from each region is entered in the National Program competition. The Foundation has developed several programs and competitions created to foster and promote construction as a viable career choice among students from grade school to high school level.
