When signing up, it automatically signs you up for the whole fall semester. However, you can cancel part way through, and someone can join later in the semester. Keep in mind that some of our projects will take multiple class periods, but others will be completed in one class period. The only exception is the motorsports class, where students will work on the same project (i.e. mini bike, go-kart) for much of the semester. So depending on when the child signs up or cancels, it may be in the middle of a project. However, we will do our best to help students finish early or catch up if needed.

We are planning on doing one-time classes on Saturdays or other times. So if the timing doesn't work for the weekly classes, feel free to sign up for our email list (at the bottom of the page) or follow us on Facebook to hear when these classes are coming. We will also update on our email list when our winter semester classes go live and if we are able to add any additional classes.

We are hoping to expand to one-time classes (likely on weekends or evenings) for both kids and adults. These will be a one-time class where we will make a project together. Sign up to our email list (at the bottom of the page) and/or follow us on Facebook to be notified of these classes.

A normal class differs depending on the subject and age. It can include building a specific project, designing and experimenting, learning scientific/engineering principles, going over safety, starting and cleaning 3D prints, running the CNC laser or CNC router, etc. We try to keep it hands-on for most of the class. Projects include rubber band guns, pickleball paddles, wooden mazes, keychains, 3D printed figurines of the students, and more. We are also hoping to cover some CAD and Arduino in the future. The motorsports class is a little different as it is focused on one main project (a mini bike, go-kart, etc.) that all the students will work on all together. They go over various processes involved in fixing and repairing the project.

Yes! Each class is designed to have content for a full year, so each student can continue winter semester and still be exposed to new projects. As of now we plan to keep classes at the same time as fall semester, but that may change based on various factors.

We don't currently have homeschool morning options, but plan to open them up with enough interest. If you are interested, please email radlabstudiosutah@gmail.com and let us know what age/class you would be interested in for a morning option. Then we'll let you know if we get enough interest.

Shane, the founder, started Rad Lab as a way to further the STEM in the local community. He taught prototyping in the Industrial Design Department at BYU for several years and he was amazed that a lot of students didn’t have prior experience with tools and design. He was fortunate enough to attend an engineering school during high school, an experience that instilled technology and tools early in his academic career. He wants to pass that on to future engineers and tech enthusiasts and share his love of engineering and building.

We'd love to help you with any other questions you have. Please email us at radlabstudiosutah@gmail.com and we will try to respond within 48 hours.
