About the Construction Junction
The Construction Junction, sponsored by Boldt, is a hands-on, play-based learning environment that introduces children to the construction process, engineering concepts, and career exploration. It emphasizes:
- Fine motor skill development through crane operation and block manipulation.
- STEM learning via simple machines like pulleys, levers, and conveyor belts.
- Teamwork and role-play with job roles such as crane operator, builder, and material transporter.
- Recycling and sustainability through a build-demolish-reuse cycle.
