Last Thursday, the ACE Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia hosted 64 teams for its annual Giant Jenga Tournament at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum. MBC was not wildly successful and toppled over the Jenga tower in the first round...but what an enjoyable night for team building and networking with Philadelphia's finest in the AEC industry. Special thanks to our resident referees Shawn Philipps and Harrison Lownes! We are so proud to support the ACE Mentor Program who links up local high school students with mentor companies to learn and experience careers in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. #ACEmentorship
