Basti, a curious bear cub, shadows his Papa Bear—a seasoned general contractor. Together they explore construction sites, meet a cast of animal‑tradespeople, ask questions, use tools and build real structures. Each episode is full of laughter, energy, and hands‑on learning.

Basti's Mission

The skilled trades workforce isn’t just shrinking because fewer young people are entering—it’s eroding because those who do, often leave within a few short years. Basti Builds is a revolutionary answer to that challenge. It’s not just a children’s show—it’s a national early‑education movement built by construction professionals and powered by AI innovation.  Every episode uses advanced AI tools to design characters, generate storytelling worlds, and adapt learning content that grows with the viewer—turning curiosity into capability. Through mentorship, creativity, and hands‑on discovery, Basti Builds introduces children ages 5–11 to the excitement and pride of building, long before career paths are even discussed in schools.
