BYF Construction Club was an excellent program that my students very much enjoyed. It is very well put together. It comes with supplies, lesson plans and slides. It is very easy to implement while introducing new experiences and trades to elementary students. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!

For 33 years, I taught architecture, building trades and civil engineering classes at Hamilton Heights. I often had the BYF website up to show students visuals because, especially with Millennials and Gen Z, you have to get their attention in a few seconds.
