If you are a student of CDMIS, you’re just one-step away from joining STEM Professionals Club. Just show up the next STEM day. Simply tell your parents about your decision to join STEM club so that they support you by subscribing for you, and get you your computer. Then you get your full STEM setup on your laptop, get your STEM account and code, and you’re now a full member of STEM Professionals Club at CDMIS.

The subscription to STEM Professionals Club Premium Plan @CDMIS is $110 per term. It currently fluctuates around NGN 55,000 (Nigerian Naira).

You can choose termly (3 months) subscription or Yearly subscription (12 months). STEM Club runs round the clock, physically in school and virtually from home during Holidays. Scroll up to see the exact subscription cost is per term or year.

Your Premium subscription can either be Termly or Annually. Termly subscription lasts for a full term (full 3 months), whether you are in school or at home, STEM Professionals Club runs to finish the stipulated number of lessons and project for your current STEM level for that term.

 Annual Subscription lasts for a full year (12months) which usually attracts some discounts.

However, there’s a stipulated subscription period for every term. Tell your parents to always do or renew your subscription in time before or upon resumption. 

To avoid interruption on your STEM journey, your subscription renewal for new term is done automatically, but with a periodic reminder and the option for you to go ahead or cancel your subscription for the new term or session, if you did your subscription online. 

Your premium subscription allows you take up only 1 STEM combination in your chosen STEM area. Below are some of the STEM combinations at STEM Professionals Club;

• Robotics & Coding
• Electronics & IoT
• Coding & Programming
• Animation & Graphics 
• Drone Tech & Coding
• Game Dev & Coding
• Artificial Intelligence & Coding. It covers from design to programming, to modelling and simulations, projects, etc.

Each of the STEM combinations has a curriculum of 2 years at least and others 4 years, just like Robotics & Coding.

All you need is your

• Club Code
• STEM Account
•  Personal Computer (PC), with full STEM setup.
• Quality internet access
• A good headset or earpiece
• A good corner in your house without distraction.

When you subscribe, you get your STEM account and everything.

You need VRT (Virtual Robotics Toolkit) only when you pick Robotics as your STEM area of choice for that term or session.

Then you do not need to purchase VRT (Virtual Robotics Toolkit) at the moment, until when you switch to Robotics.

However, when you are done with beginner levels in other STEM areas e.g. Animation, Gaming, etc, you would receive extra advanced tools at a little extra cost in addition to your Club subscription. This happens from intermediate levels, from your 2nd or 3rd year in STEM Club.

For as long as you are in School. You just keep transitioning from one STEM level to another, e.g. from Beginner Level 1 to Beginner level 2 to Intermediate levels and to Advanced levels until you become a professional. You can also reach professional level before you are done with secondary school especially if you start quiet early.

You would always be chosen from your school as one of the smartest and best in the club by your coaches. If you miss the criteria for any competition any session, then you keep working hard against another session. Your performances in the local competitions also strengthen your selection for  international competitions.

Yes, you can choose to do without VRT, and depend only on your physical designs during club sessions. However, this would come with a little consequence you wouldn’t want to experience. You may not be able to design, build, program and simulate all your weekly tasks and more robotic solutions and models like your peers during holidays. Even if you could afford the physical robotics kits that cost over NGN 300, 000, you would still need to simulate your solutions before transferring your designs and codes to real-life scenarios just like pilots do before flying real flights. Your VRT designs always match the physical challenges.

VRT is just indispensable for your STEM journey in Robotics!

There are several specialized tools you would receive in addition to your premium tools in other STEM areas apart from Robotics. You would only start using more specialized tools after your STEM Beginner levels. Just like the VRT, Specialized tools have little extra costs in addition to your premium STEM Subscription.

No, subscribed Club members do not pay for all outdoor programs  within their Club subscription period. Their Club subscription covers all nation-wide outdoor programs until your premium subscription expires.
