Eagles' Landon Dickerson hosts DIY workshop for kids

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Eagles lineman Landon Dickerson and his wife, Brooke, brought their viral DIY platform to life Sunday, hosting a handson workshop for local children at Billy Penn Studios in Kensington.

The "Dickerson DIY Workshop" drew families interested in the couple's growing socialmedia presence, where their homeimprovement videos routinely receive tens of thousands of views.

The workshop featured activities including birdhouse building, terrarium making and rugtufting.

The Dickersons said they hoped the projects would inspire confidence, curiosity and independence in young participants while giving them a chance to create something of their own.

Parents were encouraged to stay and observe the activities and take part in additional onsite offerings.

Proceeds from the event were donated to the Design to Thrive Program at PennPraxis, which provides Philadelphia youth with opportunities to build skills and confidence in designrelated fields.
