ACI hosted a remote student competition on Sunday, March 28, 2021, during the ACI Virtual Concrete Convention. The objective of the Concrete Solutions Competitions was for teams to demonstrate and explain how their use of concrete could positively impact the world at large. The event was designed to encourage students to use creative means to present and explain their concrete approach or solution to a broad audience, including why it should interest the public at large. The teams each submitted a seven-minute video prior to the convention and were later interviewed by a panel of judges via Zoom during the convention. The S801 Student Competitions Committee received a total of 30 video submissions, however, only the top 20 were invited to participate in the live interview. The full list of video submissions is available to view at: S21 Concrete Solutions Playlist.
