After School STEM Classes Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

+What is a BUILD Membership?

To participate in our After School STEM classes, students must first enroll in our BUILD Membership program. A BUILD Membership provides families with the support and resources to help students reach their STEM learning goals.
+How do I register for the classes I want?

You can select your preferred classes as part of your BUILD Membership enrollment. We want to make sure your student is placed in the correct class.
+Can I register for just one class?

Yes! We can construct an individualized learning path focused on just one topic and make sure that your child is placed in the most appropriate level of class.

+How long are classes?

Classes are typically an hour long. Most students attend class two hours per week. Some students attend two classes in one day, while others find coming twice a week a better fit. Some students enroll for three or four hours per week.
+Are you offering BUILD both in-person and online?

Yes! We had enormous success complying with COVID safety procedures this summer and will continue to offer programs in-person.
+Can I combine in-person and online classes?

Yes! You can select just in-person classes, online classes, or some of each. We are happy to accommodate the best schedule for your child and family.

+When do classes begin and end?

Classes run on an ongoing basis. Children can join anytime and progress through the projects and learning content at their own pace or the pace defined by their individual learning path. Most students will take 2-3 months to cover the content in one class before progressing to the next level or switching to a different learning domain.

+What if I need to cancel

Due to the limited capacity of our classes, any class changes or cancellation requests must be received 30 days prior to your credit/debit card processing date on the 1st of each month.

+ change or drop a class?

Yes! We believe that life-long STEM learning begins with discovering all that STEM includes and finding your areas of greatest passion and excitement. Our STEM-projects are both fun and challenging, and provide students with the total experience required for success in both the short and long term.
