Lower teacher workload, improve outcomes

"BuildSchool allows entry-level facilitators to teach a broader curriculum with better student outcomes. Exposure to careers is up, student inspiration is up, teacher burn out is down.

Course Library

Many programs can only manage to teach carpentry and electrical. This leaves students in the dark about many, many career paths they could take. We cover one new trade a week over 16 weeks.

What’s Included?

You can use our resources a la carte, to supplement what you're already doing. Or put them together as a whole curriculum and handle a new trade every 5 days.

3D VR Video

Our VR app and courses transport students to real jobsites in 3D. See what it looks like here.

Punchy Slides

VR isn't for everyone. So we also offer engaging slides for all 16 trades. We walk instructors through each deck.

Real Project Files

We provide schedules, budgets, drawings, and safety reports from real projects. Use them only briefly or to dive deep.

Memorable Exercises

We've created easy, trade-specific exercises for each week. With pre-cut pieces, you won't need more than a cordless drill.

Guest Speaker Guides

Use our guest speaker guides to invite local tradespeople to the classroom. They present projects, do Q&A, and share job opportunities.

BLD Certification

The first certification of its kind, BLD proves you have a solid foundation in 16 different trades. It's a marketable path to great jobs.

We know it's a lot to take in! Here's a response to things people often ask us.

First, it lightens the load on instructors (students spend time watching our content, doing exercises we designed, hearing from guest speakers, taking certifications we created). And second, it improves student outcomes. They enjoy the content more, know about a wider variety of job opportunities, have credentials that make them marketable to all trades, and get to interact with the guest speakers in class to get job placements.

We offer top notch construction and industry training. Our level two covers things like road, rail, solar, and municipal utilities. We don’t teach baking or hospitality but doubt whether any one firm can do everything well.

You can buy the components a la carte (i.e. I only want the slides, or I only want the in-class exercises) But if you want the whole curriculum, an annual license is 3500 per school or 7500 per district. The in-class exercise materials can be ordered at a discount from major hardware stores and, if you want, disassembled and re-used each year.

Our app makes it easy and the students' reaction makes it worth it. We can use Meta or Pico headsets. We recommend getting around 10 Pico headsets and they're around $600 each. But they can be used for many other applications beyond BuildSchool.
