SPONSORED BY

OBJECTIVE

By the end of this lesson, students will:

  • Identify common tools used in the construction industry.

  • Practice using simple hand tools safely and with control.

  • Explore the roles of builders, engineers, and architects.

  • Use creativity and design thinking to imagine and draw their own buildings.

FUTURE READY

Even in kindergarten, students are developing skills that connect to future careers in construction and design. Simple activities like hammering, measuring, and drawing lay the groundwork for spatial reasoning, fine motor control, and creative problem-solving.

Careers in building, design, and construction are vital to every community. From designing homes and bridges to constructing hospitals and schools, these jobs are essential and in high demand. Many of these roles—such as electricians, framers, architects, and project managers—offer strong wages, hands-on work, and opportunities to grow and lead.
