Discover the innovation in their hands

Encourage design-thinking mindsets.

Engage your students with hands-on projects that empower them to think constructively, creatively, and scientifically. Students must account for material, cost, and time constraints to solve open-ended, problem-based challenges. They design, test, revise, develop, and share their solutions, allowing them to act as expert engineers and woodworkers.

Explore our integrated STEAM education.

Connect woodworking to essential academic concepts with our integrated STEAM curriculum pack, which includes common core-aligned activities to complete alongside Maplewoodshop builds. Available in English and Español for students in grades 4 through 9.
