How can we help your family today?

Start from checkout or an invitation email, then set your password and household details.

Create a student profile with a name, age range, avatar, and starting course.

Start with Python for the right age range, or choose a journey if your child already has a goal.

Students launch lessons from their dashboard and work through short, guided activities.

Courses are organized into modules, two lessons per module, and hands-on activities inside each lesson.

Nova can explain, hint, and debug while keeping the student doing the thinking.

Look for lessons completed, XP earned, streaks, and projects your child can explain.

Most families do 2-4 sessions per week, around 30-45 minutes per session.

Starter supports one student; Growth supports up to three student seats.

Semester Pass provides six months of access, paid upfront, at $174 for Starter or $198 for Growth.

Annual Pass provides twelve months, paid upfront, at $276 for Starter or $324 for Growth, our strongest monthly-equivalent value.

Monthly plans are no longer sold, but existing monthly families can keep their current plan or schedule a move to a Semester or Annual Pass.

Growth adds more student seats for families with multiple children.

Cancel from the Stripe customer portal; access continues through the current paid period.

Use the billing portal to add or replace a card securely through Stripe.

Receipts are emailed after payment and are available through the billing portal.

We notify the parent account and keep the household informed before access changes.

Some households may have admin-issued access grants with a clear expiration date.

For a first purchase, email support@generationstem.org within 30 days for a full, no-questions-asked refund.

Parents can create student profiles from the account selector or parent dashboard.

Use Switch Account to move between parent and student views without signing out.

Students can personalize their icon so the dashboard feels like theirs.

Students can begin courses from the dashboard or catalog when seats are available.

XP reflects activity completion and levels become harder to earn over time.

Streaks reward consistent daily activity and reset when a day is missed.

Achievements recognize progress milestones, course completions, and productive habits.

The dashboard shows enrolled courses, current progress, XP, streaks, and achievements.

Parents can review enrolled courses, completed activities, and course-level progress.

Nova explains concepts, gives hints, helps debug, and encourages persistence.

Nova is designed to ask first, hint next, and explain when students need more support.

Nova receives the current course, module, lesson, activity, prompt, explanation, starter code, and student question.

Nova avoids unsafe instructions, credential collection, and off-platform contact suggestions.

Nova usage is rate-limited to keep costs predictable and prevent abuse.

The course player falls back gracefully so students can keep reading and building.

Students can play activity audio and control whether it autoplays on future activities.

Most courses include 8 modules, 16 lessons, and many short hands-on activities.

The pacing leaves room for families who move faster or slower week to week.

Kids courses use friendlier contexts; teen courses use more mature real-world projects.

Journeys sequence courses so skills compound instead of feeling random.

Python courses are natural starting points for many advanced teen tracks.

Cyber labs are ethics-first and avoid real-world target testing.

Finance and DeFi activities use approved data and simulations, not real funds.

Courses use the workspace that fits the subject, from terminals to live previews to browser-based code labs.

Students earn certificates when they complete all required course work.

Progress is based on completed activities, lessons, modules, and course milestones.

The course map helps students understand what is next while still preserving progression.

Generation STEM expands the library through structured, project-based course releases.

A laptop, desktop, or Chromebook with a keyboard is best for coding courses.

Use the latest Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox for the best course-player experience.

Workspaces run in the browser so families avoid local setup problems.

Check the activity instructions, console output, and any Nova hint before retrying.

For web courses, verify the HTML structure and look for syntax errors in the preview panel.

Compare the expected goal to stdout/stderr and rerun after small fixes.

The reset action restores the original starter code after confirmation.

Students can download their current work when they want a local copy.

Check browser autoplay settings and verify the activity audio has generated.

Send the course, lesson, activity, browser, device, and a screenshot if possible.
