Coaching Sessions are video calls during which students and coaches interact in real time (using Google Meet). This is a fun and convenient 21st century way to learn and connect with a like-minded community, from a familiar (often home-based) computer setting. Coaching brings life, community and efficiency to STEM learning.

Access to curated online material provides students with learning flexibility with respect to time and location: students can learn while waiting for other things. Coaching Sessions bring life and community to the experience: students are engaged with a community of passionate learners. Coaching Sessions also provide access to the experience of a Coding Coach.

The recommended duration of a coaching session is either one hour or two consecutive hours. Students available for only one hour may attend a Coaching Session for one hour. Students are typically granted 8 hours of Coaching Sessions with one year access to course material.

Our Coaching Session are interactive and engaging. To prepare for these sessions, students typically need to spend 30 minutes to one hour, in order to review videos and practice material presented in videos. Some students need to be reminded to watch and practice for one hour in the week preceding a Coaching Session.

To prepare for each Coaching Session, we recommend that students take one hour to both review online videos and practice the material presented in videos.
