FAQ's

We're still scheduling our summer but want to register now. Can I get a refund if my plans change?

Refunds are only available if we can fill your seat. Please contact us at stem@msoe.edu if you no longer can attend. We will contact waitlisted students to try and fill your seat.

Is lunch included in my registration fee?

Lunch is included in full day programs. Students will eat lunch at the campus dining commons. Students are welcome to bring a cold lunch if they prefer. All programs include light snacks.

May I drop my student off from the street / sidewalk near the Center?

Families should walk-in to check-in their students at our front desk. Students cannot be dropped off more than 10 minutes before program start and must be picked up within 10 minutes of the program end time. Students are not in the care of MSOE until this time window AND until they are in our facility.

How do I get to your facility?

We are located at 1444 N Water Street on the MSOE campus. A map and parking information will be sent to all families at least one week prior to your program start date.

Can I sit with or watch my student in your program?

During summer programs, the Center will not have available space for parents and guardians to wait for their student. Families should plan to drop off their student and return during the pick-up window.

My student is an advanced learner - should I enroll them in a higher grade level program?

Please enroll your student in the grade level program that corresponds with their current grade. All of our programs have variations and elements we can add and redact to make an activity more challenging or easier to accommodate a spectrum of learners.

My student has accommodations I'd like to discuss - who do I contact?

Please e-mail stem@msoe.edu if your student has any physical, mental or emotional accommodations that our team should be aware of prior to the program to help us ensure your student has a great experience at MSOE!

We do not have staffing to offer 1:1 student support during a program. If your student requires assistance at all times, please reach out as soon as possible to help us better understand if we can ensure your student has a great learning experience.
