Building competition open to Duneland students

CHESTERTON | The Northwest Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction is sponsoring its 24th annual NAWIC Block Kids Building Competition this year from 5:50 to 8:15 p.m. Feb. 28 at Liberty Elementary School.

This free event is open to all Duneland School Corp. students in grades 1 to 4. Participants will have an opportunity to create a building project using interlocking types of “micro” size blocks, to be interviewed, and then judged by men and women working within the construction industry.

This program was developed by NAWIC in an effort to create an awareness of and to promote an interest in one of the many facets of the construction industry. Information and registration forms for this free event are available in each Duneland Elementary School main office by request and online at www.duneland.k12.in.us under District Announcements.
