 | The Construction Industry Education Foundation (CIEF) Design Build Competition® promotes career awareness of the built environment among high school students through hands-on experience in the construction process. It provides a first-hand look at future opportunities in the industry. As it recognizes student ingenuity and achievement, the Competition allows the construction industry to support, partner with, and mentor schools, students, and career technical education programs. Each participating team is challenged to design, plan, and construct a 96+ sq. ft. structure that meets a set of criteria established under the advisement of industry professionals. Through sponsorships and grants, teams compete at no cost to any student or school.
On the second day of the Competition, CIEF hosts The Industry Lunch. This networking event brings together professionals from the built environment, along with other community, regional and national sponsors and stakeholders of the Competition, including students, parents, teachers, and counselors. Sponsors can award scholarships to students for apprenticeships, trade schools, or colleges, and attendees can interact with students and instructors while seeing their building.
