Frequently Asked Questions

Generally speaking, all Opportunity Unlocked programs are offered entirely online. A handful of programs are offered in the Washington, DC metro area. Should your group be interested in an in-person program, please feel free to Contact Me.

Classes meet online using Zoom videoconferencing software. Zoom is a free download, available at zoom.us and in any app store. Students have joined the meeting on diverse technical tools including laptop computers, desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Classes are held at diverse hours throughout the day. Opportunity Unlocked serves a global audience of students. Our learners come from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Thailand, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more. All classes are held in English.

To access the meeting, students will need access to a reliable internet connection capable of supporting streaming video content. Students find it easier to participate if they have a webcam (the camera built into most devices is more than adequate) and headphones.

All class meetings are recorded to enable students to make up the meeting. The parent simply needs to request a copy of the recording within 72 hours of the students' absence. Class recordings are retained for 90 days before being removed.

Families must request a refund before the course enrollment window closes, citing the reason for their request. If the course has 8 or more class meetings, the course enrollment window closes 1 week before the first class. If the course has less than 8 class meetings, the enrollment window closes 72 hours before the first class.

Depending on the reason for the request, Opportunity Unlocked may suggest transferring the student to a comparable course, award course credit on the customer account, or provide a cash refund up to 75% of the course tuition. 

Under no circumstances will Opportunity Unlocked offer cash refunds after the course enrollment closes.

I believe that every child deserves a chance to explore math, science, and engineering. Please contact me if you have any questions related to your family's specific financial circumstances.
