Building in Public Mapping America's Makers

Published on

Back building with more commits than ever.

This week we launched the Trade Schools Map, a live, searchable directory of 1,031 schools across all 50 states teaching the trades that keep America running: welding, diesel, HVAC, machining, and more.

Every logo on that map represents a story: a young welder, a teacher passing down a skill, a town still making things that matter. Behind the data is the dignity of work.

This is the start of an industrial graph for America, connecting education, industry, and infrastructure into one living ecosystem. From apprenticeships to aerospace, it's all part of the same map: how we rebuild what we've lost and strengthen what remains.

The mission's the same: rebuild, reconnect, and remind the world that "Made in America" isn't nostalgia. It's strategy.

Here we go. 🇺🇸
