Teams Advancing to Construction Challenge Finals

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has announced the regional winners in its Construction Challenge teen competition. More than 2,000 students from around the United States and in Toronto competed in 15 simultaneous qualifying rallies to secure their spot in the challenge finals.

Fifty-five teams will compete in the Construction Challenge Finals May 20-23 during the Destination ImagiNation Global finals in Knoxville, Tenn. Sponsorships are available to help cover the costs of student teams’ participation.

AEM partners with Destination ImagiNation to produce the Clallenge, which is a creative problem solving program that introduces students to the skills they could be using in the construction industry.

Now in its second year, the Construction Challenge offers an opportunity for students, teachers, parents and community leaders to learn more about available construction careers.

More than 300 student teams competed in the regional rallies held in February for a spot in the finals.
