Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my membership when I graduate?▾
Student members are automatically upgraded to Alumni membership when they graduate — keeping you connected to the Stellr community as you enter industry or higher education.
Can I register for events without a paid membership?▾
Explorer (free) members can browse events and create a profile. A Pathfinder membership is required to register for competitions.
How does the free year work for event participants?▾
When you participate in a Stellr event, you receive one year of Pathfinder (students) or Contributor (mentors) / Innovator (educators) membership at no cost — activated from the event date.
Is membership per school or per person?▾
Membership is per individual. Schools do not need a membership — only the students and educators attending events.
