In the process they uncover and document the history of the buildings and create a presentation to accompany their models. The models and presentations will be judged for technical mastery, architectural accuracy and historical research.

Speakers include Deputy Secretary of Education Heather Bouchey, Josh Hanford, Deputy Commissioner of the Vermont Division of Historic Preservation, , Katarina Lisaius, from the office of Senator Bernie Sanders, Pollaidh Major, from the office of Senator Pat Leahy, and Steven M.
