"The impact this competition has had on our students has been very evident. Students that were not interested in participating in school activities have become more aware of their grades so they can be able to compete in the Design Build Competition®. We have seen these young men and women come out of their shell and become part of a team. It has been a real motivator for our students." Jesus Lopez | Newman Smith High School Instructor |
"The CIEF Design Build Competition® is the complete package. Students get to see every aspect of the design and building process start to finish. It also includes the soft skills so many of our employers say is lacking in our current labor market. Teamwork, problem solving, responsibility, and attention to detail are just a few things that students have to master in order to be successful in the Design Build Competition." Michael W. Smiley | Waxahachie High School Instructor |
