Hi! I'm a member and volunteer at Build, RVA and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. How old is your daughter?

I have two, 11 and 9. Likely the 11 year old would be the one to join me.

Curious what kind of tools and/or classes and events are available.

Ah ok! I'm asking if there's any kind of age limit, will let you know when I hear back!

Right now we're still not holding many special events due to the pandemic. But we have weekly woodshop, laser, sewing, and CNC classes. Plus welding, metal shop, metal milling CNC, wood lathe, and 3D printing classes by appointment. We've also got a number of other tools available ranging from vinyl cutters to an embroidery machine which are more "teach yourself" kind of things.

The best way to get a feel for the space is to come by for a tour! You can sign up at https://www.rvabuild.com/tour (and if you DM me when you're coming by, I can try to be there to say hello!)
