Credits, Refunds, and Transfers
If you for some reason can no longer attend and let us know as soon as possible via [email protected].
For School Year workshops: Refunds for the balance of the full workshop fee (that is, the full fee minus the reservation fee) must be requested one week or more before the workshop. If the request is made the week prior, you can get credit for a future workshop.
For Summer STEM Institute workshops: Refunds for the balance of the full workshop fee (that is, the full fee minus the reservation fee) must be requested within one (1) week of payment and at least four (4) weeks before the start of the workshop. All such requests must be accompanied by an acceptable, documented explanation. Judgments about acceptability of explanations and documentation, and about whether or not a refund will be issued are at the sole discretion of STEMteachersNYC and are final. Refunds will not include fees charged on the initial payment by Eventbrite, credit cards, and/or banks.
If your school or organization has made the ticket purchase for you, your credit may be transferable to a school or organization colleague.
Note that workshops require a minimum number of participants. In the event there are not enough participants, the workshop may be postponed or cancelled, and a refund will be offered.
Is my reservation/ticket transferrable?
Possibly, please contact us via [email protected], if you need to transfer your reservation to a different person/name, or if you wish to transfer your reservation to a different workshop.
The name on the reservation/ticket doesn’t match the attendee. Is that okay?
No, please contact STEMteachersNYC via [email protected] to address this and update your reservation information.
Cancellation
In cases of inclement weather or other unforeseen event, STEMteachersNYC will notify participants as soon as is feasible. We will contact registered participants in advance if a workshop will need to be rescheduled – or if it has been moved to Zoom. If you do not hear from us, this means the workshop will proceed as planned. If STEMteachersNYC cancels an in-person or virtual ticketed workshop or event, you will be refunded the full price of the ticket.
Photographs, Screenshots and Video Recordings
We take screenshots, photographs and record video of our workshops in order to publicize a positive image of science teaching, and of STEMteachersNYC – a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – and to support future teacher leaders. If you register, you are agreeing to be photographed and to have your voice and image video-recorded. You are also agreeing to relinquish all your rights to the photographs and video recordings.
If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded – you must inform us before the workshop starts, or turn off your camera during a virtual workshop. For in-person workshops, we will do our best to avoid you. We would also appreciate your cooperation in positioning yourself at the edge of the group so as to help facilitate this.
