🥁 Structural engineers know: it's not one strong piece that holds a building up — it's how every piece works together.

Justin Jones-Fosu's keynote takes that same idea and puts a drumbeat behind it, showing Summit attendees how to lead teams the way good structures are built: in rhythm, in sync, built to last. Hit play to see it in action.

Yesterday didn't look like structural engineering. It looked like folding tables, packing tape, and 500 toolkits coming together one hands-on kit at a time. 🛠️

But that's exactly what it was. With MiTek's support and volunteers, NCSEA's Future Builders program is now ready to reach 500 classrooms — 12,500 students — and introduce them to the concepts that shape our profession: forces and loads, materials, how structures work, design and problem solving, and engineering for public safety.

Each grade-level toolkit builds on the last, following the same knowledge framework engineers meet on the licensure pathway. Students design, test, improve, and explain their own structures — exactly the way real engineers do — so the connection between a classroom lesson and a career gets a little clearer every year.

A huge thank you to the MiTek team for rolling up their sleeves and helping us get these kits ready. This is what building the future looks like. 💙

What a day! Thanks to the incredible support of MiTek, the NCSEA Foundation packed 500 toolboxes for our Future Builders program. Each one will help bring hands-on structural engineering into K-12 classrooms and spark the next generation's curiosity about the profession. We're deeply grateful to MiTek for helping make it happen, and this is just the beginning for Future Builders.
