the hammer build
The HammerBuild provides an educational day that students will never forget. In two hours, students work together using hammers, drills, tool belts, and goggles to build a house large enough that the entire class can get inside.
The HammerBuild transports students out of the classroom to an on-the-job experience. Throughout the build, students learn the value of math application, goal setting, teamwork, and workforce development skills.
Our Niswonger build partner is Walters State University. To schedule a HammerBuild for your school, please contact:
