Lindsay Offermann is a part of the St. Louis Chapter 38 of NAWIC, National Association of Women in Construction.
Every year, they host an event called Block Kids to introduce children grades 1st-6th to the construction industry. On Friday, January 23rd, they are bringing this event to CCLS' 3rd and 4th graders.
Schedule of Events
9:00 a.m. Meet in Gym
9:15 a.m. Build Begins
9:55 a.m. Build Ends
10:00-10:20 a.m. Snack/Inside Recess
10:20 a.m. Return to Gym for Announcement of Winners
It is a timed event where each child will be given the same items to build a structure of their choosing. While they are building, judges from the construction industry will ask specific questions about their project and they will be individually scored. At the end of the event, prizes will be awarded to the top 3 winners and then the winning project will be submitted to the Regional/National competition. Every child will go home with their project, a t-shirt, and a good bag from the event.
Be sure to give a big Thank You to Lindsay Offermann for coordinating this event for our 3rd and 4th graders! -- Thank you Mrs. Offermann!
