Electrical 101 Workshop for Women

This workshop focuses on electricity in the home: how to maintain your house and how to expand on what you already have. This hands-on workshop has a strong emphasis on safety and will cover: ​ - Building an understanding of the electricity in your house and how it works - Adding outlets to an existing “wall” - Learning the difference between the devices in your home (types of outlets and switching) and how to change them Each workshop begins with an introduction to hand and power tools, and you'll go home with plenty of resources to help further your electrical understanding! The goal of this workshop is to build a comfort level with the systems in your own home and to help you make informed decisions when talking with a contractor. All skill levels are encouraged. Dress appropriately for working around power tools. (Closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, etc.) Class limit is 10 attendees. Our February classes will be held indoors. Our construction classes fill quickly; please register ASAP to avoid disappointment!
