Our 2025 ACE Charlotte Giant Jenga Tournament was a huge success again this year!

We could not be more thankful for the support of the Charlotte architecture, construction, engineering and skilled trades community. All of the support goes directly back to the students and our program. Without you this would all not be possible. Special shout out to Gray for being our title sponsor this year!

We are already looking forward to next year, so start brushing up on your Jenga skills now!
