Building
Foundations, walls, roofs, insulation, measuring and sequencing a build safely.
Goosehold™ School of Trades & Engineering
Goosehold Trades™
Learn how buildings, services and practical trades fit together through safe simulations, recognition challenges and Follow the Builder™.
Start Follow the Builder™Open Goosehold U™Explore Goosehold World™
Plumbing
Recognise water systems, fixtures and common components through non-hazardous simulated jobs.
Electrical
Learn what electrical systems do, identify components and understand when only a qualified adult should act.
Carpentry & finishing
Explore timber, joinery, decorating, surfaces, tools and quality checks without dangerous real-world tasks.
Follow the Builder™
A guided trade simulation for learning and problem solving. Children are never instructed to perform hazardous construction, electrical, gas, height or power-tool work.
- Meet the customer and understand the simulated job.
- Choose the correct trade and identify the work area.
- Inspect the scene and spot the relevant components.
- Put the safe work sequence in the right order.
- Select suitable simulated materials and tools.
- Complete the virtual task and run a quality check.
- Explain what was done and which real jobs require a trained adult.
