Welcome to BuildTown
Where Everyone Can Learn to Build
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.
Making Tool Skills Fun and Accessible While Sparking Curiousity and Creating Together

Fantastic Feedback from our Test Classrooms and Homeschool Partners
"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.”
— Megan R., Homeschool Mom of Two
“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.”
