BUILDING COMPETITION FOR GIRLS & BOYS IN
GRADES 1-6
GRADES 1-6
NAWIC Greater Kansas City Chapter #100 has been hosting the Block Kids Program for 30 years.
In 2019 we changed our Block Kids Event to October, from February where we had to fight some cold and snowy weather. It was a resounding success!
It is a great way for kids to use their imagination and learn more about the construction industry.
In conjunction with our Block Kids Design/Build Competition we offer participatory, fun and educational activities for the kids.
