MCAA Showcases Innovation at North Florida Masonry Showcase



On Friday, April 11th, we had the pleasure of representing the Mason Contractors Association of America and our Outreach and Education Division at the North Florida Masonry Showcase. This event welcomed 15 high school students who demonstrated their growing masonry skills in a competitive showcase environment.

As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation in masonry education, we introduced the 3D wall scanner to attendees and participants. Positioned as a tool for the future, the scanner highlights the potential for enhanced accuracy and efficiency in competition judging. Its introduction sparked interest and conversation about how technology can support skill development and evaluation in the trades.

Events like this serve as a powerful reminder of the talent and passion emerging in our next generation of masons. We’re excited to continue supporting these students while promoting advancements that strengthen the future of our industry.
