❓ Common Questions

Learning Center FAQ

Everything you need to know about our learning centers

When do learning centers open?

We're opening our first learning centers in Q2 2026. Join the waitlist now to be notified when enrollment opens in your area and get priority registration.

What ages do you serve?

Learning centers serve ages 5-18 with age-appropriate programming. Classes are grouped by skill level, not just age, so advanced learners and those needing extra support both thrive.

How much does it cost?

Learning centers use our credit system. Each 60-minute session costs 2 credits. Credit packages start at $49 for 10 credits. See our pricing page for details.

What's included?

Full badge platform access, all materials and supplies, small group instruction (max 12 explorers), progress tracking, and parent dashboard access.

Can I tour a center before enrolling?

Absolutely! Once centers open, we'll offer free tours and trial sessions. Join the waitlist to be invited to grand opening events.

What if there's no center near me?

We're expanding based on demand. Request your location on the waitlist - when we have enough interest in an area, we prioritize opening there. You can also start with online challenges or at-home skill books while you wait.
