BreakfastStageOne Robotics and Coding Helicopter
Workshop
In this workshop designed and operated
by MIT PhD graduates, students have the
opportunity to collaborate on both hardware and
software design by building circuitry and writing
software together. Utilizing an Arduino
microprocessor as the base, they build, program
and fly a helicopter that they create in small
groups.
Each program has its own customized online registration portal where we collect all necessary information about the participants. Faculty and trip planners can access registrant information throughout the planning process. Just before travel, the trip leader receives a faculty binder with all critical information for the group, including photocopies of all student tickets, visas, emergency contact numbers, airline tickets (if booked through WorldStrides), country information, and 24/7 emergency numbers for travel assistance.
Is there a monthly payment plan available?
Yes. If you opt not to pay for your trip in full, you will be placed on a monthly payment plan. With this plan, payments are spread out across the months leading up to your trip, with the final balance due, in most cases, 75 days prior to travel. A $6 handling fee applies for each monthly installment payment, unless you elect to use EZPay.
EZPay, our most popular payment option, automatically deducts each payment from an account you authorize us to use. The monthly handling fees are eliminated and you never have to worry about the possibility of incurring a late fee. You can elect EZPay at time of registration or you can switch to this option by calling WorldStrides Customer Service at 800-468-5899.
Class is in session. And, by that, of course we mean
