Approximate Total Time Commitment: 36 Hours

What is the cost of the certification?

The registration fees are $1,295 per person, paid via Purchase Order. The participant’s seat is not held in the cohort until a Purchase Order is received. Registration fees must be paid before the Cohort Start Date. If applicable, please check with your district’s entitlement funds to ensure compliance.

Will I receive a certificate with professional development hours?

Yes, a certificate and virtual badge will be issued upon completing a passing portfolio.

Are the two Lab Days held in person or are they virtual?

The two-day lab is only offered in person. Attendance is mandatory on both dates to receive certification.

There are no refunds if you are unable to attend both days. However, you will have the one-time option to transfer your registration to a new cohort within one year from your originally scheduled Cohort Start Date.

Can I resubmit my work if I receive below an 80% on my portfolio or do not pass the course?

You are allowed one additional attempt within 90 days from your original portfolio submission to improve your grade and pass. There is no fee for resubmission within 90 days.

What if I (the participant) leave the school that paid for my certification and want to continue in the program?

This would have to be worked out between the school and the staff member.

How long are my STEM certifications valid for?

Certification is valid for three years from the date it is conferred.

How does the program help participants become leaders in STEM?

The program helps participants understand STEM programming from a systems level, how to effectively and holistically integrate and assess STEM practices, plan professional learning aligned to educators’ needs, and create vibrant professional learning communities to sustain STEM integration.

How do I register for the program?

For large-group registrations, contact certifications@eduscape.com.

What payment options do I have for registration?

You can pay by check, ACH or PO.

Are there any additional resources included with the Certification program?

Yes, participants will receive:

One (1) Photon Coding Robot
One (1) Engino STEM Mechanics Kit: Levers and Linkages
A one-year teacher license to Co-Spaces, a 3D virtual design environment

What are the requirements that must be met to receive certification?

You will be assessed on the following:

Attendance on both days of the Two-Day Lab
Attendance is required for at least two of the four live PLC sessions
Completion of all coursework in Modules 1-9 with a passing grade
Final Portfolio Submission with a grade of at least 80%

What if I start in one cohort and need or want to switch to another cohort?

If you choose to switch to another cohort, you are allowed a one-time option to switch cohorts as long as the lab has not occurred yet.

What if a school/district pays for a participant and the staff member leaves the school? Can their seat in the program be transferred to another person?

The seat is transferable provided the cohort has not yet started. You may transfer the seat to a cohort date different from the originally selected one, but it must have a start date within one year of the original cohort start date for which your school initially registered.
