Our Offerings: We offer our courses in Santa Cruz County, Santa Clara County and Monterey County. We have links to these offerings on our home page.

We have designed a wide variety of courses and offer them on an ongoing basis. We are always developing new courses, too. If you'd like to look at a more comprehensive list of our offerings, please view our Course Descriptions page. If there are specific courses you'd like us to schedule, please send us an e-mail and let us know. We will try our best to accommodate you.

Duration: Learn to Discover offers three different types of courses and activities: Classes, Camps, and Robotics Challenges.

• Classes are offered once a week for anywhere between 4 and 8 weeks, with each class session meeting for between 1 and 2 hours each day.
• Camps are usually offered for 2-3 hours/day for a number of consecutive days, often in the Summer.
• Robotics Challenges are offered occasionally in the counties that we serve. Teams of 4-6 students meet one or more times a week for 8-10 weeks to build robots to complete pre-defined challenges based around a theme, such as Robotic Animals or a FIRST LEGO League-released theme. This culminates in a celebration and Open House at a public facility, where friends, family, the public and the press/media are invited to watch the teams demonstrate their accomplishments in a non-competitive environment. This festive occasion includes refreshments and team-produced goodies.

Class Fees: Learn to Discover is a nonprofit organization, and we pride ourselves in trying to keep the fees for these high-quality courses as low as possible. This usually works out to be about $16/hour. Please review the fee information for each class of interest. Rarely, we charge an additional materials fee.
