STEP 1: REGISTER
To register for this class, fill out the registration form. Please be sure that you’ve checked the class schedule and age requirement.

STEP 2: CONFIRM YOUR SPOT & SCHEDULE YOUR MENTOR CHAT
After registering, we’ll reach out within a week to schedule a chat with your mentor and confirm your enrollment. If you don’t see an email from us within a week, please reach out to programs@spyhop.org — sometimes emails get lost or end up in junk folders. This chat is just a short conversation to learn about class expectations; this chat can be in-person at Spy Hop or via phone or Zoom.

Class space is limited! If we can’t reach you to confirm your spot (first via email, then by phone call or text), we will give your seat to another student. Students are not enrolled in a class until your mentor chat, where you have confirmed your participation in the program.
