DIY workshops provide children with an invaluable opportunity to discover their interests while developing responsibility and gaining confidence with tools - all while saving money over time! Many national home-improvement stores and community colleges provide these workshops.
These workshops can take place anywhere, including private homes, places of life and companies. Workshops may feature interactive elements like lectures or pair/group discussions.

But why have these markets suddenly appeared everywhere and why have more been popping up since 2016? What accounts for their proliferation?
