Not at all.  While it would certainly be helpful if CITs have prior experience with coding and robotics, they will be asked to undergo training in basic coding and robotics with Penguin Coding School classes prior to the summer. This knowledge will be reinforced by helping younger children in those skills during the summer program.  

Yes, this program is an educational opportunity for the student, not employment.  The tuition for the program is reflected in the listing for each location, and follows the same discount/refund/cancellation policy for the general summer program.  

We welcome anyone who is between the ages of 13 - 15 and is able to participate in all the activities we offer during the summer sessions. We also reserve the right to refuse to accept a participant who the staff determine would be detrimental to the overall success of the summer programs. We would issue a full tuition refund in such cases.
