Frequently Asked Questions

To enroll in any of our programming courses, your child must first attend a STEM Explorer Session. This helps us understand your child’s learning profile and ensures they are placed in a course that matches their skills and interests. After the session, we will share available time slots and course details and guide you through the next steps for enrollment.

Learning to code helps build essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It fosters logical reasoning, boosts confidence in using technology, and prepares children for a future increasingly shaped by digital tools.

While we highly encourage punctuality and regular attendance, we understand that emergencies can happen. In such a case, parents must inform the instructor before the class and request a recording. In this way, the instructor can arrange a recording if informed in advance, as we do not usually record classes.
