Frequently asked questions
Who is this project a great fit for?+
BlueRobins projects are designed for curious students in Grades 3-12 who want to build. No prior experience is needed — mentors start wherever your child is and grow the challenge as they grow.
What does a typical session look like?+
Your child meets 1-on-1 with their mentor every week over Google Meet. Fall and spring programs run 16 weekly sessions of 45 minutes each. Summer Intensive runs 20 sessions of 60 minutes each. Sessions are hands-on from minute one — building, designing, coding, writing, experimenting — with the mentor coaching live, asking great questions, and unlocking the next step.
What will my child build by the end?+
A finished project they're proud of and can show the world. Across 16 sessions in fall or spring (or 20 sessions in the Summer Intensive), your child turns an ambitious idea into a working app, prototype, research write-up, portfolio, or published artifact. Every student finishes with a completion certificate signed by their mentor.
Why a free trial first?+
So your child can meet their mentor, get a feel for the project, and leave the call excited. The trial is a complimentary 1-on-1 free trial session — no credit card needed. After the trial, you decide if it's the right fit. Most families know within the first 15 minutes.
How will my child stay engaged week after week?
+
Because the work is theirs. Every project is built around what the student personally cares about — their own app, their own research question, their own art. Mentors keep momentum high with weekly milestones, honest feedback, and the kind of one-on-one attention students don't get in a classroom of 30.
How does this prepare my child for what's next?+
Students walk away with three things colleges and future opportunities care about: a finished project they can showcase, a mentor relationship in a professional field, and the confidence that comes from having built something hard. For older students, completed projects become standout portfolio pieces, research write-ups, and college essay material.
How will I see my child's progress?+
Your parent dashboard becomes a window into every session. You'll get an AI-generated summary, key highlights, and the next set of action items right after each meeting — so you always know what was covered, what's next, and how your child is growing. Optional session recordings are also available with parental consent.
Who are the mentors?+
Practicing experts your child gets to learn directly from — researchers and graduate students from top-20 universities, scientists, founders building frontier startups, and entrepreneurs working in the field they teach. Every mentor is interviewed, background-checked, and quality-reviewed to keep the experience consistently great.
How does the schedule work?+
You and the mentor pick a recurring weekly time that fits your family's life. Sessions happen on Google Meet using the same link every week — no juggling new invites — and Google Calendar invites are sent for every session so it's always on your radar.
How does billing work?+
Fall and spring programs are simple monthly tuition, billed through Stripe. The Summer Intensive is a fixed program fee — pay in full upfront, or split it into two installments. Either way: no enrollment fees, no surprise charges. The price for this project is shown above, and any required hardware is listed separately so you always see the full picture upfront.
