Public Classes

We empower students to develop practical skills through a wide range of hands-on and online classes in basic electrical, plumbing, and carpentry. Our fully equipped woodshop and professional teaching staff welcome hundreds of people every month, online and in-person, from youth groups and DIY homeowners to team-building and employee training workshops.
Groups & Team Building
Report
Group classes are a great way to share fun and new skills among friends or coworkers. Participants get to collaborate, problem-solve, and explore creativity while gaining practical know-how and, depending on the class, a pretty cool project to take home. We work with youth groups, too! Most of our classes can be modified for an age range of 10-16.
