Designed to bridge classroom learning with real-world application
The Mini Concrete Skatepark Contest engages Concrete Industry Management (CIM) students in a hands-on, team-based competition that challenges them to apply their concrete mix design and construction skills in building miniature skateparks. Designed to bridge classroom learning with real-world application, the contest emphasizes creativity, sustainability, and innovation within the concrete industry, while fostering technical skills, teamwork, and community impact.
The event also honors the legacy of Dominic Lencioni - a CIM student and skateboarder - through the Dominic Lencioni Skatepark Internship and the broader mission of Skate4Concrete.
