Discounts

We do not offer any discount codes, special prices, or sibling discounts. We know that coupons and discounts are a popular type of marketing strategy, but it just doesn’t fit well with our value of transparency.

We know what our costs are to keep amazing certified teachers and awesome tech tools in our classrooms and we absolutely will not artificially inflate a class price just to give out a discount – like other companies do. Instead, we’re just making the cost of the class as low as possible for you… always. This way everyone pays the same low price, no matter when you decide to sign up,  and every nerd receives the same high value of education and experience.

Class Structures

How we run classes at each grade level.

Little Nerds

Grades 1st - 3rd

(based on grade entering next fall)

Our Little Nerd classes are engaging and exciting and vary greatly in content and structure, but in some form there is always an engaging, interactive lesson from the teacher, guided practice, and independent or small group work with help and support from peers and staff.

We usually begin the day with a team building activity and move into our first lesson. Next is a hands-on activity or project. Halfway through the class, kids will take a brief recess and snack break. A second lesson follows break and the kids will do another project/activity or continue one they were working on.

Bottom line: It’s hands-on, interactive, fun learning.

 

Big Nerds

Grades 4th - 7th

(based on grade entering next fall)

Our Big Nerds classes have 2 types: regular classroom classes and computer lab* classes. The regular classroom classes run very similarly in format to the Little Nerds classes, essentially lesson, building/work, break, lesson, building/work. It’s always fun and engaging with hands-on projects!

Our computer lab* classes are Graphic Design, Virtual Reality, Coding Games, and 3D Printing. All of them require design or coding software that we provide account access for. The class will be based around learning that software to design or code the assigned projects. In addition to instruction on the software, all of these classes include lessons about how to connect what we are learning to the real world. There may be some building of physical projects mixed in, and we will certainly take breaks, but the majority of the class is spent working in the lab.

*We strongly recommend against taking 2 computer lab classes in the same week. It’s too much sitting and screen time! Mix and match with a non-computer lab class if your nerd stays all day!

 

Be Prepared

What To Bring

Everyone Brings Water Bottle & Snack
We strongly suggest each child have a water bottle and a snack. We have snack breaks during each class. If you are looking for a new water bottle might we suggest the NERDING water bottle! You can pick it up on your first day of class!

Price = $20
