We at Kidbilt wish to express our gratitude to the TECCS community for giving us the space to co-create with the students.  We have learned so much by teaching at TECCS in sync with the school's mission of ethics and social responsibility. We are driven by raising the next generation to be independent, confident and ethical people, through woodworking to honor the fundamental experience of making something by hand. We teach through play, trial and error, and most importantly by giving the kids the freedom to create from their imagination.  Working with their hands and using tools kids are learning concepts in math, geometry and engineering and most importantly they are learning crucial life skills of building and how it may help them or others in the future.
