Join us for Woodworking After School

For girls and gender expansive kids* ages 12 - 15

FRIDAYS, 4pm - 6:30pm

February 6 - March 27

@ UNCA STEAM Studio

Join us for an exploration of woodworking tools, their safe use, and their creative potential! We will be using a variety of freestanding and hand-held tools to better understand how to design useful objects using wood and fasteners (screws! nails!).

The curriculum of this program is aimed at folks who have already completed another woodworking experience at SkillSet, and we will focus on tool use safety, practice through doing, and bravely making cool stuff with powerful and sometimes scary tools.

In this class, students will each design and make their own free little library -- and the curriculum allows for customization if they want to use their design for another purpose such as indoor display or storage.

Learning Outcomes:

Physics of power tools
Physics of body leverage
3D design using wood and fasteners
Safe use of drills, saws, measuring tools
Basic geometry and algebra in construction and design
Jobsite teamwork

$300 - snacks, tools, and materials included!

Financial Aid is Available! Apply Here Prior to Registration

Accessibility notes

Students will be exposed to a dusty space with loud machinery.

*SkillSet is open to students of all genders
