Cost Options:
We are creating 5 cost options to facilitate a “pay what you can” scale. We are asking $40 as the standard cost to cover the basic costs of lunch, materials, facilities, etc. If you would like to cover your own cost and help provide scholarships for others, there will be an option to give $60 or $80. If you are excited to participate but find the cost to be prohibitive, you are welcome to pay just $20 or $0. There is no obligation to give extra! We’ve just learned that some people want the option.
