Build Up!
A Tool Kit for Learning takes fifth-grade
students on explorations in construction
– from their classroom to the wider
world – through the poster and 12
reproducible pages, the video Bridges,
the book, Up Goes the Skyscraper,
and the materials provided in the Tool Kit.
Build
Up! was developed by the
Associated General Contractors of America
(AGC/A) and Scholastic, Inc. as the first
phase of its Construction Futures
campaign, an initiative designed to enhance
the image of the construction industry
through coordinated educational and community
service activities. While phase one was
specifically developed for use with fifth
graders, over time Construction
Futures will be expanded to
include educational initiatives and
community based programs for other grades.

Association, Inc. to donate a kit to a
