"My students have been fully engaged in the Design Build Competition® and have developed a strong sense of school spirit and camaraderie. This experience has had a significant impact on their personal growth and academic success, providing them with valuable opportunities to collaborate, problem-solve, and showcase their skills. We are proud to see how much they have grown and look forward to seeing their continued success."

Matthew Martin | Will C. Wood High School Instructor

"I believe Design and Build is probably the most practical application of skills learned in the classroom. Students are able to take a series of skills learned and put them together to build a project from start to finish. The competition promotes a team spirit not necessarily to win an award but to work together to produce the best possible shed the team can. There are so many great teams and designs it helps to drive teams to improve each year as they look forward to the next competition. Lastly, I have never had a team that has not felt a huge sense of pride from being able to build a shed in just two days."

Dan Johnson | Live Oak High School Instructor
