BLOCK Kids 2025

The Block Kids Building Program is a national building competition for children grades K-6 and introduces them to construction careers. Students are given a series of materials to build something construction related. Participants are given 45 minutes to build a construction-related project using 75 to 100 blocks, 12" of string, a square of aluminum foil, and a piece of poster board. Past entries include houses, bridges, construction equipment, buildings, etc. Each child will present his/her project to a Building Inspector (also known as a volunteer from our local industry) who will conduct a short informal interview. The Building Inspector will rate the contestant on the creativity of his/her design, use of materials, and oral presentation. All young "builders" will receive a Block Kids goodie bag.
