Commitment: We are not requiring a commitment for the entire season (ending March/April 2025), but we ask that new students commit to the team until at least the first competition. Consistency and dedication to the team throughout the season is key to maximizing the students' success as a team and their overall learning experience. We hope to have students committed to attending team meetings regularly throughout the season and working as a cohesive team to improve their robot. 

Holidays and Time Off: Forge is closed for certain weeks throughout the year and takes time off for holiday and seasonal breaks. Please see our Holiday Schedule and Closings page for information on this.

Class Trials: First-time students are welcome to participate in a trial class to see if it’s the right fit.

A $1 fee will be charged when you sign up to secure your card on file.
