ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Construction Research and Innovation Strategy Panel

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a construction research and innovation strategy panel is all about.

You know how when we build things like houses, roads, buildings, etc. we need people called engineers and architects to design them? Well, sometimes they come up with really cool ideas that could make building things easier, faster, safer or cheaper.

That's where a panel comes in. A panel is like a group of people who come together to talk about something and figure out how to make it better. The construction research and innovation strategy panel is a group of super smart people who talk about new ideas, materials, tools, and technology that could be used to make building things better.

They look at things like how to make buildings stronger so they don't fall down during an earthquake, how to make roads last longer so we don't have to keep fixing them, or how to build houses faster and cheaper without sacrificing quality.

They talk about these ideas among themselves, and then they come up with a plan or strategy on how to use these new materials and ideas in real life. Their goal is to make construction better, safer, and more efficient.

So basically, this panel is a group of people who come up with new ways to build things that could help us save time, money and make our buildings, roads, and bridges stronger and safer.
