First-Time Builders

All first-time visitors must attend a brief Shop Orientation at the beginning of their selected Shop block.

Orientation takes place during the first 15 minutes of each block. To participate, first-time builders must arrive at the start time.

  • Up to 3 hours of Shop access. All necessary tools, safety equipment, and materials.

  • All of our sessions use real tools which requires a respect to what they can do and how to use them. Builders are required to wear appropriate shirts, long pants, and close toed shoes (no sandals or crocs).

    Builders with long hair must have a way to put it up and jewelry must be removed.

    We provide all other safety equipment.

  • Nope, just a desire to learn and build confidence.

  • There are no make-ups because there are no scheduled weekly classes. Your pass can be used during any designated Junior or Crew open block. Simply pop in the next block that fits your schedule.

  • If you are using a Step Up Scholarship please do the following:

    1. Use STEPUP2026 at check out to book your classes.

    2. Log into EMA Scholarship Portal and click Find Providers and search for VoSKILL, then select the service that matches your block .

In Juniors, builders learn real tool safety, basic construction skills, and how to complete structured builds from raw materials. Attendance times are flexible within Junior shop blocks — but the projects, expectations, and standards are clear.
