Who we are?

Kids Building Wisconsin is an annual event that empowers children to explore the world of construction, engineering, and skilled trades. Through hands-on activities, demonstrations, and exhibits, this initiative sparks curiosity and nurtures creativity in young minds. By connecting kids with professionals from various industries, Kids Building Wisconsin broadens their horizons and encourages them to consider careers in these fields. With a focus on community involvement and collaboration, this event showcases the power of teamwork and collective effort. Kids Building Wisconsin serves as a platform for children to dream big and discover their potential as builders and innovators of the future.
