Lowe's has kids classes that teach project-based skills. This month, budding engineers get to design and build a kinetic sandbox.

After the workshop, kids receive an apron badge. When they collect 6 badges, they'll be recognized as a Jr. Builder and get a certificate of Builder Recognition. After collecting 12 badges, children will be deemed Sr. Builders and win a free tool bag. Lowe's badge programs ends December 31, 2024.

If you miss this workshop, don't worry there are plenty more. These classes run every month and cover topics such as how to build a car, a treasure chest, a garden, a bird feeder and more.
