Education
Block Kids (October 25, 2008)
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 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
competition. National prizes are awarded to the top three
projects. The Dallas Chapter’s competition involves children
being treated by the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas,
Texas.
CAD/Design/Drafting Competition
The CAD/Design/Drafting Competition Form 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.
