It depends on the program. Robotics and Sparks classes are mostly hands-on. Coding and game design are mostly laptop work, with an unplugged warm-up and a show-and-tell.

No. A placement session helps us match kids to a team by age and experience. If a team is full, we keep a waitlist in sign-up order.
