Boot Camp FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about Hands-on Science Boot Camp
How much does the workshop cost?
The cost of the workshop is $199. If you pay with a credit card you will receive a $10 discount on your registration. Please note that all registrations must be paid in full prior to attending the workshop.
What is included in the price?
Included in the price of your registration is all the material you will need to follow along... step-by-step... with Steve throughout the day, plus take the lessons right back to your classroom the next day.
Is there a discounted hotel room rate?
Unfortunately, since our event is a one-day workshop, hotels do not offer a discount on over-night stays.
Do you have a map to the workshop site from my school, airport, home...?
Usually when we go to different cities for our workshops we are more lost than our attendees! Our best advice is to plug the hotel address into your favorite map website on-line.
Can I use a purchase order to pay for my registration?
We do accept purchase orders to hold your space at the workshop. However, the purchase order must be paid in full at least two weeks before the workshop to guarantee your registration. If the purchase order payment has not been received prior to the date of the workshop, you will be asked to provide a credit card at check-in. If payment is not received within terms, a $20 late fee will be applied to your registration fee.
What if I need to cancel?
We understand that you may need to cancel your reservation before the workshop. As long as you call our offices and cancel up to two weeks before the workshop you will receive a full refund. Cancellations made after the week mark will be eligible for a 50% refund.
Do you offer group discounts?
Typically, discounts are only given to participants paying with a credit card. However, if you have an extra large group please contact Carly at our office to discuss pricing options.
Your Boot Camp Tour isn’t coming to my city... will you be coming there in the future?
We only plan our workshop schedules one year at a time, so we don’t know what cities we will be visiting in future. If you are interested in holding a private workshop in your area please contact Carly for details.
I’m not a teacher but I would still like to attend the workshop... can I come?
Our Hands-on Science Secrets Boot Camp is designed for teachers. If you are not a teacher, please contact Carly to determine if we have a workshop that would be a good fit for you.
Does the workshop align with my state’s academic standards?
Because Steve hosts these workshops throughout the country, Boot Camp is not aligned with any one state’s standards, but rather with National Science Standards.
Your website says the workshop is for Pre-K through Elementary teachers... would it be beneficial for higher grades as well?
While Steve gears his workshops primarily for the younger grades, attendance and teacher feedback have shown us that teachers from every grade level will be able to take something away from the experience. Some of the lessons may require a bit of adaptation, but the overall methodology of getting students excited for learning is perfect for any age.
