Building To Teach teaches math the way it used to be taught–hands-on.
People have always learned by doing. The Building To Teach program uses the hands-on building process to help students improve their math skills and get on a path to work-readiness. We've seen great things happen when kids build something real, whether its boats, buildings, even guitars. They learn planning, communication and responsibility–all critical job skills. They discover abilities they didn't know they had and gain confidence. And, they learn math and come to see it as a useful tool in their lives. If you teach math and want to engage your students at a deeper level, come build with us!
