COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – GIRL WITH GRIT WORKSHOP – SUMMER IS FULL

GIRL WITH GRIT CREATIVE CONSTRUCTION – This class is a hit for anyone that likes to build, create, or design!
Girl with Grit provides workshops and advocacy to help fill gaps many youths face when it comes to basic knowledge of construction, such as tools, safety, and the joy of building with your hands. Through fun, confidence building, and hands-on projects, Girl with Grit introduces these concepts along with areas of the workforce, like the skilled trades and design.
Join us to build multi-faceted construction themed projects and learn about tools. This module is geared towards growing handiness with tools and skilled trades materials. Our projects have a duality in following instructions step-by-step through aspects of tools, safety, and building. Once built, the student progresses to working through the additional design and technical elements such as paint, tiling, and solar lighting.
Students gain knowledge about careers in skilled trades and learn practical trade skills everyone needs to know in a creative, interactive, and empowering way.
We fulfill all requirements for the Girl Scout Cadette Woodworker Badge for this workshop!
