Empire Deck Studio Educator / School Access

Bring skateboard design into the classroom.

Empire Deck Studio Educator Access is made for schools, teachers, makerspaces, STEM programs, art classes, woodworking classes, and hands-on project-based learning.

Students can design skateboard shapes online, explore deck dimensions, work with approved mold presets, and save their designs. Teachers can review student files before submitting a mold, deck, or supply request to Empire Skateboard Manufacturing.

This gives schools a cleaner way to manage skateboard-building projects without every student needing advanced CAD software.

What Schools Can Do

• Give students access to a visual skateboard design tool
• Let students create and save custom deck shapes
• Use approved Empire mold presets
• Review student designs before production
• Submit approved designs to Empire for quotes
• Organize classroom skateboard projects more easily
• Pair the software with veneer packs, foam molds, vacuum bags, or completed deck blanks

Why It Helps Teachers

Skateboard projects combine design, math, engineering, woodworking, art, and entrepreneurship. Empire Deck Studio gives students a hands-on way to understand dimensions, shape, symmetry, wheelbase, manufacturing limits, and real-world product design.

Teachers can review student work before anything is sent to Empire or made in the classroom.

Teacher Review

Educator Access is designed so teachers can manage the project before production. Student designs can be reviewed, approved, adjusted, or quoted before molds, veneer kits, or deck blanks are ordered.

Protected Mold Library

Students and educators can use approved mold presets, but Empire’s private mold geometry, full mold specs, and mold STL files are not included.

Give your students a real product-design project they can actually build.
