The NPCA Foundation Student Competition provides a unique opportunity to engage students and academia in the precast concrete industry. Under the guidance of an academic advisor, students will compete in teams to solve real-world problems using precast concrete as the solution. Students will submit their entries to a team of judges for review. The top teams will be invited to present their entries to the industry at The Precast Show 2019 in Louisville, Ky., where the winning team will be chosen. Check back for updates.
