Construction, Planning and Trades Learning Activities
The Hard Hat Club offers hands-on learning activities from our Capital Projects team that help students and families explore how school buildings are planned, designed, and built at home.
Through simple, engaging activities, students learn about real capital projects and share their ideas and work. These activities build understanding of school facilities, encourage student voice, and strengthen connections between learning at home, classrooms, and the future of our schools.
