Procon’s Florida Office invited local kindergarten class for a day of learning and play in an effort to promote excitement about construction and exposure to STEM at an early age.

As part of “Get to Know Your Neighborhood” day, the kindergarten class from St. Mark’s Episcopal School in Cocoa, FL took a short field trip to visit their neighbors two blocks away—the team at Procon’s FL office.

The kids got a hands-on intro to construction management, learned about our work with NASA at Kennedy Space Center, and impressed us with their knowledge of tools and materials. After a crash course in PPE, each student geared up with their own helmet, flashlight, and measuring tape, then followed blueprints to build Magnatile structures and even a tiny house! The day wrapped with ice cream, of course, because learning should always be fun.

Early exposure to STEM and construction helps children understand how things are built and how they work—planting the seeds for the next generation of innovators, builders, and engineers.

Procon Co-Founder and President Kyu Jung sat down with iHeart Media Washington DC for the CEO‘s You Should Know series sponsored by M&T Bank.

Kyu Jung joined host of iHeart Media DC’s CEOs You Should Know, Dennis Glasglow, to share his personal and professional journey from childhood in Richmond, to meeting Procon Co-Founder Mark Ilich and attending Virginia Tech together, to AEC industry leader.

Kyu talked about what separates Procon from other firms and shared the importance of our industry and the work we do:

“We help shape communities, schools, hospitals, roads, you name it. Our work in the construction industry, it touches the human experience, the built environment…it’s not just hammers and nails. It’s everything.”

Teasers for Kyu’s interview aired on all six DC iHeart Radio stations and the full interview can be found HERE, in addition to all of the stations’ websites.

Since its unveiling in late September, the Procon Innovation Center in Virginia Tech’s Hitt Hall has attracted media attention ranging from industry outlets like ENR and Construction Dive to various local news stations.

In Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering Fall Magazine, the lead story, Constructing Tomorrow, takes readers back to the Blacksburg campus during the early dot com era where Procon’s co-founders Mark and Kyu were finalizing their business plan. The story follows Mark and Kyu’s journey from VT graduate students to construction leaders and mentors. Inspired by their VT professors and an immersive graduate curriculum, Mark and Kyu established a construction management consulting firm with a focus on technology and innovation. Now, students at Virginia Tech will have the opportunity to leverage cutting edge technology to solve A/E/C industry challenges and create smarter, more sustainable solutions for the built environment. In addition to fostering tomorrow’s leaders, the lab space is another way that Procon is partnering with academia to bridge the gap between research and industry.
