Schedule
Every track will continue with weekly classes for 8 months until May 2026.  You can stop payments and attendance anytime without a cancellation fee.
 
Attendance
Every track and session is designed to work identically in-person, via zoom, and via FlexLabs. Exception: Elite Junior students must be in-person. 
 
Kits
For in-person attendees, kits will be ready on the first day of class. For zoom and FlexLabs, kits will be delivered a few days before class begins, or you can pick them up if preferred.
 
Each student will get their own individual kit. New kits are provided to students every 5 to 6 weeks on average.

Graduation
Each track culminates in a certification for everything learned and built. Succesfully graduating from our Genesis track will earn the student a Robotics Specialist PreDegree. Additionally, once they are 16 years old they will be eligible to apply for internships in our robotics lab
 
What equipment does the student need?
A Mac, Windows, or Linux laptop with administrative rights to install Arduino, Python and other programming tools. If you have a newer Mac or Windows laptop with only USB-C ports, you will need a USB-C to female USB adapter to connect the Arduino to your computer.
