Who we are?
Kids Building Minnesota 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. Inspired by and supported through a partnership with Kids Building Wisconsin, Kids Building Minnesota connects kids with industry professionals to broaden their horizons and encourage future career exploration. With a strong focus on community involvement and collaboration, the event highlights the power of teamwork and shared effort. Kids Building Minnesota serves as a platform for children to dream big and discover their potential as the builders and innovators of tomorrow.
