What To Expect

Foundations of Woodworking

With woodworking as the core focus of Design/ Build, students learn the fundamentals of wood, woodworking tools, and how to turn a board into a beautiful product.

Application of the Design Thinking Process

This isn't your average woodworking shop class. Students engage deeply in creating products for clients; aiming to understand their needs, brainstorm crafty solutions, prototype, and iterate to create the greatest value for others.

Project Management & Ownership

Student agency and ownership is a core mindset of this class. Students learn how to self-navigate through projects, take ownership of their process, and take control of their projects- from beginning to end.

Designing & Building For Our Community

Design/ Build works closely with the community; seeking opportunities to create woodworking projects that serve non-profits, elementary school classrooms, and clients within the community to make it a better place.
