Workshop Offerings

Each workshop is designed as an educational demonstration — approachable, engaging, and adaptable to your group's needs.

Safe at Home

Learn to recognize common trip hazards, lighting concerns, and maintenance issues. Explore home features that can support everyday comfort and accessibility.

Know Your Home

Learn about water shutoffs, common signs of leaks, basic maintenance, and when to contact a qualified professional. Practice with demonstration materials.

Build & Connect

Enjoy guided projects such as planters, birdhouses, or small home accessories while learning basic measuring, tool use, and construction skills.

These workshops are educational demonstrations. They are not home inspections, professional assessments, or guarantees of safety outcomes. Participants are encouraged to consult qualified professionals for specific home concerns.

Bring The Build-Up Lab to Your Community

We work with senior centers, libraries, churches, retirement communities, and community organizations to plan engaging construction and home education experiences for older adults.

We welcome conversations about seated participation, activity pacing, tool adaptations, and other accommodation needs during the planning process. Please reach out to discuss what works best for your group.
