The first place winner was Matthew Eagan, age 8, of Woonsocket.  The second place winner was Nayda Serre, age 10, of Woonsocket.  The third place winner was Bianca Perry, age 8, of Woonsocket.

The Block Kids Building Program is a national building program competition that is sponsored on the local level by National Association of Women in Construction chapters and other organizations.

This award-winning program introduces children to the construction industry in an effort to create an awareness of and to promote an interest in future careers in one of the many facets of the industry.
