THE NEXT BLOCK KIDS PROGRAM WILL BE HELD ON
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2023
Planning is underway --- check back in August 2023.
WHAT IS THE BLOCK KIDS BUILDING PROGRAM? |
The Block Kids is a national building competition for children in 1st through 6th grade and introduces them to construction careers. Each child is given 100 blocks and the choice of 3 other items (a small rock, string, foil, and poster board) to use their imagination in constructing a structure or project. This award-winning national competition is sponsored by the NAWIC Philadelphia Foundation. Local winners advance to the regional competition, and one semi-finalist from each region is entered in the National program competition. Local and National prizes are awarded to the top three projects. |
WHAT TO EXPECT? |
Participants have one hour to create something construction related without adult help or guidance using approved materials. Once complete, the student will meet with a judge or judges who will rate the project and ask the student a series of questions. Local trades will have interactive activities setup outside the contest area for the students to play and investigate construction activities. Each participant will receive a free t-shirt and goodie bag!
