The Block-Kids Building Program is a national competition that is sponsored on the local level by NAWIC chapters. The annual award winning program introduces children to the construction industry in an effort to create an awareness and to promote an interest in future careers in one of the many facets of the industry. The competition involves building a structure that a construction company would build, using 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.
