HOW TO
GET INVOLVED


Picture

ARCHITECTURAL MENTORS

​Support the students while they design their plans, between January and February. You are introduced to a school to help either 
in-person or virtually for a maximum of two hours to help them with their preliminary plans. The level of experience that the students and teachers have really varies.
Picture

PRELIMINARY PLAN REVIEWERS

​You receive two or three sets of plans to review and provide feedback to the schools. This can take a couple hours in the month of February.
Picture

JUDGES

​Join us at the competition on the second day to walk the job sites and score each team’s structure that they have built over the course of the two days. This takes place after the industry lunch (noon-1pm) and can take a few hours to complete.
Picture

IN-KIND MATERIALS

​Ask about the materials needed for the competition and provide in kind donations or materials at cost.
Picture

ATTEND THE INDUSTRY LUNCH

​Come have lunch with other industry professionals on the second day of the competition from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm. 
Then walk the team’s job sites and see the structures the students are building.

Picture
