THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY STUDENTS CONSTRUCTION TRADES FOUN-

DATION INC. is a nonprofit foundation established cooperatively by the

Montgomery County business and professional community and Montgomery

County Public Schools to promote and encourage the interests of career

education related to construction. Students actively participate each year in

the Young American Design/Build Project. The Construction Technology

programs consist of courses in Electricity, Masonry, HVAC, Interior Design,

Carpentry, Plumbing, Foundations of Building and Construction Technology;

and Principles of Architecture and CAD Technology. This unique

experience brings together various specialized career education programs.

Through the design and construction of a house, students gain the satisfaction

of participating in a real-life project.

The Young American Student Design/Build House Project begins with the

Annual Design Competition in which local architects, developers, and

contractors review the house design plans submitted by students from the

Principles of Architecture and CAD Technology Program. Students enrolled

in Construction Technology Programs then build the selected design.

Students in the Interior Design Class decorate the house for the Cornerstone

event. Upon completion, the house is dedicated at the Cornerstone

Ceremony in which a cornerstone is laid and the public is invited to tour the

house. The house is then placed on the market for sale.

Since the Foundations’ beginning in 1976, students in the program have been

involved in the design and construction of 39 homes. This year’s Young

American house is our 39th. We have built homes in Silver Spring, Rockville

and also Bethesda. Our most recent 12-lot development is on the corner of

Connecticut Avenue and Dean Road in Silver Spring. The celebration of

YA 39 marks the completion of this development. Our 40th house is being

built just around the corner from YA39. Watch YA40 as the students build it.

All proceeds from the sale of the Young American houses are returned to the

program to cover the cost of additional land, land development, construction

expenses, as well as the financing of student scholarships and awards.

The Montgomery County Students Construction Trades Foundation Inc. has

been the recipient of many awards for program excellence. It continues to be

a support to other educational institutions that are starting or updating their

programs.

Interior Design is a program for highly

motivated students with a special interest in the

design field. The program is an intro-

duction to the design process necessary to cre-

ate functional, yet aesthetically pleasing spac-

es. Emphasis is on the basic elements and

principles of design including furnishings,

room arrangement, and the use of drafting in-

struments required for the completion of de-

sign projects. Interior Design students par-

ticipate in the decoration of the student-

designed and built home completed by the

construction cluster students.
