Honour the Work

The British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA), in collaboration with the BC Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association, is proud to announce their collaboration with Honour the Work.

About

This innovative program aims to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education through hands-on activity kits and books designed to inspire elementary school students.

The Honour the Work initiative is dedicated to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among young learners. The comprehensive kits provided include detailed guides for educators, complete with lesson plans, instructional videos, and various resources, all aligned with the British Columbia curriculum standards.

Honour the Work is a charitable organization dedicated to reshaping perceptions and increasing awareness of skilled trades careers among elementary students, teachers, and parents.

STEAMS Kits introduce kindergarten to grade 5 students to skilled trades, which are:

  • turnkey. Teacher lesson plans, student handouts, and electronic links to resources are provided.
  • hands-on. A class set of building materials are included.
  • including diverse children’s books.
