Habitat for Humanity is looking for fifth-graders to participate in its eighth annual “Build a House…Build a Dream!” contest for kids April 4 at Drexel University.
Students are asked to create their dream home for the event, which raises awareness for affordable housing and funds for homebuilding programs for low income families in Philadelphia, Camden, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties.
Pupils can work individually or in teams to construct a three-dimensional model dream home and prepare an essay describing the creation.
In April, the models will be reviewed by professional builders, architects, engineers and designers. Winners will be selected based on originality, creativity, use of materials, appearance and effort. Every participant will receive gifts and the top finishers will get small cash prizes.
Since 2002, more than 4,500 fifth-graders representing 750 schools throughout the Delaware Valley have participated in the competition.
