Questions Parents Ask
STEM: Your Questions Answered
What is STEM at Pollen Education?
STEM is a live, 1:1 online STEM & Discovery course for students in grades 1-8. Discover science, math, and engineering through hands-on challenges.
What age or grade is STEM for?
STEM is for students in grades 1-8. Within the course, each child is placed by what they already know rather than by grade alone, so they are never rushed ahead or held back.
Does my child need any experience before starting STEM?
STEM is pitched at an intermediate level, but beginners are welcome. Children start at the module that fits what they already know, and the free demo class is a good way to find the right starting point.
What will my child learn in STEM?
Your child will build skills in The Engineering Design Process, Mechanical Prototyping, Cross-Disciplinary Thinking, Rapid Prototyping & Iteration and Collaborative Maker Challenges. Along the way they work with Engineering design process, Pulleys & gear trains, Pneumatics, Structural bridges and Rapid prototyping.
What will my child create in STEM?
Every class is project-based, so children make real things: builds, experiments and challenges. The course includes the Engineering Design Lab and Innovation Challenge Studio tracks.
How many classes does STEM have?
STEM is offered in plans of 30 classes (Bud, valid for 7 months), 60 classes (Bloom, valid for 2 years) and 90 classes (Blossom, valid for 3 years). Every plan includes live 1:1 sessions and a personal mentor, and the price depends on the plan you choose and your region.
How is STEM different from Robotics?
STEM (Grades 1-8): Discover science, math, and engineering through hands-on challenges. It uses Engineering design process, Pulleys & gear trains and Pneumatics. Robotics (Grades 1-10): Assemble, wire, program, test, and improve intelligent machines. It uses Breadboards, C/C++ firmware and Ultrasonic sensors. Not sure which fits? A free demo class helps you decide.
How are STEM classes taught?
Classes are live and online, 1:1 with a dedicated mentor. Courses are interactive rather than a textbook-style syllabus, and are designed by professional teachers with more than 5 years of experience in the same field.
Can we try a class before enrolling?
Yes. You can book a free 1:1 demo class for STEM before choosing a plan. There is no commitment and no card needed.

Ready to get started with STEM?
In a 45-minute 1:1 trial, your child takes on a small design challenge with the mentor: understand the problem, sketch an idea and decide how to improve it. It is the same plan, try and improve cycle engineers use.
