Build Up! A Tool Kit for Learning takes fifth-grade students on explorations in construction "from their classroom to the wider world" through the poster and 12 reproducible pages, the video Bridges, the book, Up Goes the Skyscraper, and the materials provided in the Tool Kit.

Build Up! was developed by the Associated General Contractors and Scholastic, Inc. as the first phase of its Construction Futures campaign, an initiative designed to enhance the image of the construction industry through coordinated educational and community service activities. While phase one was specifically developed for use with fifth graders, over time Construction Futures will be expanded to include educational initiatives and community based programs for other grades.
