Event Details
Come one and come all to The Great Ginger Build of 2018, happening on December 8, 2018, 11am - 5pm, at the Slover Library in Downtown Norfolk, where teams of Norfolk area middle school students armed with their themed "Holiday By the Sea" Ginger Build will compete for the title of The Greatest Ginger Build of 2018 and cash prizes. Students will have one month to form their team of a maximum of four, register here, plan, and build their Ginger Builds. Using concepts that they are already learning in school to create their ginger builds (Geometry, Science - Chemistry and Engineering), builds will be judged by the public as well as a special panel of judges.
