Woodworking
for elementary schools
Discover a talent as early as possible
Students apply math in ways that are tactile, tangible, and satisfying in ways worksheets and tablets can never match. Students report that they don’t like math but woodworking is different even though they are practicing math skills at every step.
Every program comes with curriculum, professional development, support, portable equipment, hand tools (no power tools) and ready to use project materials.
Get to know our program and let us craft a solution for your district.
We hear from elementary schools that:
COVID set kids back years
Math skills already lagging by 1 year
No tactile exposure to anything
Meanwhile, they want to help students with:
Social Development
Math skills

Learn how the Maplewoodshop Woodworking program works
“The Maplewoodshop program has provided a hands-on learning experience that draws in ALL students, which has made a significant impact on our ESY summer programs.
Students attend woodworking two periods per week, and on many days was the reason they came to school. We have experienced higher student attendance than in previous summers, and have seen more focus in the academic periods.
The program has truly met a need that had not been met before.”
“I hope to learn how to use tools to build things. It would be a major advantage for my future life in engineering”
