Virtual Next Gen FAQs
What if I’ve already registered my young person for a Next Generation program?
Anyone who was already registered for a summer class has been sent an email communication from Hangar Education outlining your options. If you have any questions about that, please email Education@Hangartheatre.org.
How did you determine the length of each program?
Sessions are built to allow for a variety of activities and ample breaks. We’ve found that a 10-minute break per hour is necessary and helpful (for teachers and students!). We’ve also learned to build in time for peer interaction and student check ins.
What technology is required to participate in the online programs?
We’re conducting classes on Zoom and will sometimes utilize additional programs like Google drive. We will work through the technology at the start of each session, and do our best to handle any technical situations that arise.
What if I want my young person to enjoy the outdoors this summer?
So do we! That’s why we’ve shifted to shorter, more focused sessions for online learning. When we can, we’ll include explorations that involve the outdoors–finding inspiration from nature. We believe wholeheartedly that outdoor activity is essential for the development of healthy and happy creative individuals.
Will my young person be able to make new friends through the online format?
So far–we’ve been thrilled to see friendships spark and grow through virtual programs. As with “in real life” class sessions, we are happy to help facilitate these connections in any way we can.
Are there any benefits to virtual learning?
Actually, yes! Because the online platform requires smaller classes and a more contained setting, we are finding that it allows for even more focused sessions, and helps our more introverted students feel comfortable, sooner.
What if my young person doesn’t take to virtual sessions?
We totally understand–it happens. Just let us know, and we’ll work out a plan.
