Coastal Georgia National Association of Women in Construction is pleased to announce the 5^th Annual Block Kids Building Program Competition.

The Block Kids Building Program is a national building program competition that is sponsored on the local level by NAWIC chapters. 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 offered 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 are awarded prizes with the first place winner advancing to the Regional Competition.  One semi-finalist from each region is entered in the National Program Competition. National prizes are awarded to the top three projects. 

Locally in Savannah, the 2016 Block Kids Building Program Competition will take place on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at 8:30 AM – 12 NOON.  The event will involve 60 boys and girls from Hodge, Gadsden and Haven Elementary Schools.  Area businesses are needed to donate items for the participation goodie bags and grand prizes.  Monetary donations are needed to provide the students with prizes, breakfast, event shirts, certificates, ice cream, and general event expenses.  Please help make a difference for a child in our community by donating today!  If you are interested in helping make this event a success for these students, please contact committee chair Laura Lee Bocade at [email protected] or 912-996-0731.
