2nd Annual Wall-Assembly Contest Kickoff
This reboot of the Kansas City BS and Beer gang's #WallAssemblySweet16 competition gives construction and design students a chance to show off their knowledge.
On March 2, 2021 Connor Malloy of George Brown College, Matt Blomquist, a building technologies teacher in Taylorville Illinois, and Travis Brungardt of BSandBeerKC.org kicked off this year’s #WallAssemblySweet16 competition—a bracketed tournament of wall-construction plans for high-performance homes.
Last year’s competition was full of great designs submitted by home-building pros, with building-science heavy hitters Ben Bogie and Michael Maines facing off in the final.
This year the organizers are limiting the competition to students, and both Connor and Matt have shared it with their fellow educators across North America to make it part of a nationwide curriculum. The resulting competition was explained in this conversation (in the video above) live on Tuesday, March 2nd, the day the contest kicked off.
