Making Tool Skills Fun and Accessible.
Sparking Curiosity. Creating Together.
At BuildTown, we believe everyone should feel confident with tools in their hands - whether you’re a curious kid, a first-time DIYer, or a family building together.
Our workshops and curriculum blend hands-on learning with creativity, giving you real-world skills and the confidence to take on projects big and small.
BuildTown is a place where skills grow, curiousity thrives, and community is built one project at a time.
BuildTown Launching December 1!
While owning a DIY boutique, we received many many requests from all ages to learn more about tools and building. We heard you and have been hard at work for the past two years creating our fun and exciting curriculum we know you are going to love. It will be officially released in December and our workshops will follow in January 2026 in various Dayton locations.
We would love it if you sign up for updates and accompany us on this journey! You will receive insider access, fun prizes, and bonuses as we get closer to the launch date!

"BuildTown has completely transformed our homeschool days! My kids look forward to ‘build time’ more than any other subject. The lessons are easy to follow, and I love that everything is designed for real-world learning — not just worksheets. It’s empowering to see them using real tools safely and creatively. We’ve built projects together that I’ll cherish forever.”

“Integrating BuildTown’s Builder Basics curriculum into my 7th grade STEM class has been a game-changer. My students aren’t just learning about tools — they’re learning with them. The lessons connect perfectly with our engineering and design standards, and the hands-on projects have boosted engagement across the board. Even students who were hesitant to participate are now the first to grab a tape measure or screwdriver. It’s been incredible to watch their confidence and curiosity grow.”
