We Train
Our training program blends digital and in-person training for your teachers. Teachers watch videos and take quizzes on our online learning platform prior to in-person training. After the training, your teachers complete any projects they will do with their students.
We Equip
Turn your current classroom into a hand-tool woodshop in minutes. Empower students to help with set up and clean up. All hand tools come with safety gear, safety posters, and tool instructions to create a mindful and safe environment.
We support
Our lesson plans that align with national standards bring your classroom or after-school program to life. They allow you to teach STEM and other curricula in an interesting and engaging way! We also support you via email and phone support.
