Ascension Catholic School

The Block Kids Building Program is a national building program competition that is sponsored on the local level by National Association of Women in Construction (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 competition involves the construction of various structures with Lego 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.
