Skate4Concrete Certification Logo

Looking for a great learning avenue within the scope of CTE, STEAM and STEM?

Skate4Concrete's Certification is the perfect option for you! The curriculum about the concrete industry falls within the Construction, Engineering, and Manufacturing CTE pathways, and gaining our certification will open students' eyes to the importance and stability of a concrete career.

The final project for this certification includes the construction of a mini concrete skatepark, which provides teachers with a fun and engaging way to educate about the science of concrete through the application of building concrete skateparks.

The Skate4Concrete Certification® Kits!

When you join the Skate4Concrete Certification®, you have the option of purchasing the certification with a Full Kit which contains materials required for the Mini-Concrete Skatepark Project for a class of up to 30 students.

Each kit contains enough material to create 6 Mini-Concrete Skateparks up to 16x12 inches in size. That's perfect for 6 teams up to 5 students per team. Concrete mix supplies aren't included in the kit that is shipped.

There is also the option to order additional kits if your class is larger than 30 students, or you would like to have fewer students per group. You can order additional kits at any time during the school year.

Shipping is included in the price!

We connect you to local concrete supply companies in an effort to get you the concrete supply needed for the project at no cost. If we are unable to make that connection, you may need to purchase concrete supplies from your local hardware store.

Officially Endorsed and Recognized by the

National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

Skate4Concrete Certification® in the News!

Find out how two teachers from the La Mesa Arts Academy used the Skate4Concrete Certification®.  Note, the Certification is developed for High School level students, during beta testing the program was offered to middle school teachers as a way to learn how best to create a new Certification for middle school.

How did teachers implement the Certification?

“The modules were assigned one at a time, students worked with partners to read through and answer the questions.” – Ms. Orvell, LMAAC

What standards or curriculum does the Skate4Concrete Certification® apply to?

California State Science Framework which is based off the Next Generation Science Standards.  The Engineering requirements refer to concrete, therefore this project was a perfect fit.  The Certification is also a great example of Project Based Learning where we cover math, earth science, engineering, teamwork, problem solving and more.
