The NPCA Foundation is now accepting entries for the 2026-27 Precast Solutions Student Competition, giving college students the opportunity to put their creativity, problem-solving skills and knowledge of precast concrete to work on a real-world challenge.
Student teams will develop a precast concrete solution based on this year’s competition problem, gaining hands-on experience while connecting classroom concepts with the challenges faced by today’s precast concrete industry.
Teams selected as finalists will have the opportunity to present their solutions to industry professionals at The Precast Show 2027 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Ready to get started? The complete competition materials, including the problem statement, rules, requirements and submission documents, are now available online.
Faculty members are encouraged to share the competition with students and incorporate the challenge into coursework or student organization activities where appropriate.
