Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with each Lab?
Each Lab includes at least 2 SoRe Lab facilitators, all needed equipment for each lab, supplies for participants to have an experience they will remember.
Group maximum is 25 students, but is there a group minimum?
To make sure that we are offering the best service possible, there are certain fixed costs that must be covered in order for us to provide service to even one child. By charging by session rather than per participant, it allows us to make sure those fixed costs are covered so we can focus on offering the best services possible.
What needs to be setup before SoRe Labs arrive?
-
Tables and chairs will need to be set up for the participants. We will provide table covers -
If WiFi is needed for the Lab, the passcode will need to be available for our devices -
If multiple sessions will be facilitated, please provide a location that allows the SoRe Labs staff to remain in one place while participants cycle through every 60-90 mins. -
If it is possible to split middle & high school students, the two groups should be setup in seperate rooms/areas if possible. -
Any groups materials stored on site between sessions should be set out to be used at each session.
What if my group includes middle & high school students?
While SoRe Lab actitivies can be facilitated to a combined grades 6 -12 group, we suggest and advice that is possible, participants be split into a middle & high school group. As long as the total number of participants across both grade groups combines to 25 or less participants; host/organizations will not be charged for multiple groups.
Do we as the host site have to do anything once SoRe Labs is there?
Yes. SoRe Labs staff should never be left alone with participants. For this reason, we ask that the host site provides an additional staff/volunteer to assist with behavior monitoring, supply distribution, and restroom needs as they arise. For groups larger than 30 or organizations signed up for multiple sessions, the host party/organization is responsible for determining how participants will be split into groups for service. Host party/organization is also responsible for monitoring participants before and after their sessions concludes.
Why do sessions default to twice weekly (2x per week)? What if we cant commit to daily sessions?
Our experience in facilitating SoRe Lab sessions has shown us that when sessions are not held multiple times per week ( ie: 2x or 3x per week), activity time is lost and students do not always have adequate time to complete the Challenges as they were designed. Because our sessions are held for 45-60 mins, it means that participants do not need to be kept on site the entire day, simply available at the scheduled time of service.
