The Construction Industry Council (CIC) has been organising the CIC BIM Competition annually since 2019, providing an excellent platform for the younger generation to enhance their knowledge and skills in BIM and showcase their talent. The competition aims to promote the practical use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) through a collaborative and competitive learning approach among tertiary students in construction-related disciplines. Now in its sixth year, "CIC BIM Competition 2024" aims to challenge participants' creativity and innovation in designing a CIC Innovation Academy and applying BIM technologies. The competition is open to full-time higher education (post-secondary) students and part-time students pursuing top-up degrees. Teams must be formed with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 members from at least 2 construction disciplines. By participating in this competition, students will have opportunities to learn various BIM software with free licenses through attending hands-on training webinars. Mentors with a professional background will provide guidance and support for participating teams. This briefing will announce the competition details, providing information and tips to interested participants to prepare for the competition and gain a better understanding of BIM. Date: 24 January 2024 (Wed) Time: 15:00 – 17:00 Speakers: Representatives – Industry Development, Construction Industry Council Language: English Format: Webinar Should there be any queries, please contact Mr. LEUNG at 3199 7145 or via email bim@cic.hk.
