With every passing year, there is a greater need to discover and develop highly skilled young people to design and build our nation’s future.  Whether it is building homes for growing families, next-generation power plants, office buildings or the roads and bridges that carry us to and from these places – creating something that stands the test of time is a noble and rewarding profession. The iBuild Showcase is an annual exposition, inviting metro area students to actively connect with construction and business-related trades, contractors, architects and engineering firms.  While at iBuild, students and teachers participate in hands-on activities such as a nail driving contest, bricklaying, computer-aided drafting and heavy equipment operation.
