The schoolyard is the classroom.
Your robotics, STEM, and shop students don't have to learn on a $40 kit that gets shelved in May. Hand them a real fleet — running, telemetry-monitored, and visible from the front office window.
Cut the landscaping line item. Fund the robotics lab.
Every school, district, or civic organization gets a flat 10% Educator/Civic discount on any subscription tier — applied automatically once we verify enrollment. Schools that go further and have their students take on the Runner and Apprentice roles for their own campus fleet step up to a planned 50% discount. One rule, two states — no haggling, no bespoke pricing memos.
Three programs, one career pathway
From the first robotics class on Monday morning to a paid summer apprenticeship, students move through On It Robotics on a single ladder.
- Sovereign OS dashboard access for the instructor and roster
- Service Templates and curriculum modules (mowers, batteries, telemetry)
- Privateer-led intro session at the start of each semester
- Flat 10% discount applied to any subscription tier on the campus
- No physical fleet required — pair with a local Privateer's units
- Students take on the Runner & Apprentice roles for the campus fleet
- Telemetry routed to a classroom dashboard for live grading
- Co-op sends a Runner out as needed to keep the fleet on point
- 50% rate keeps the Hub whole on hardware + dispatch; labor offset funds the discount
- Anything deeper than 50% requires board approval per Bylaws
- Planned 10-week paid summer placement with a sector Privateer
- Designed to qualify for Arkansas workforce-development incentives
- Planned cooperative-issued On It Technician I certification
- Designed as an on-ramp to a Class B (Worker) cooperative seat once eligible
Your students run the campus.
The Sovereign OS classroom view turns fleet operations into a graded calendar. Students sign up for shifts, accept work orders, log inspections, and review telemetry — exactly the workflow a working Privateer uses.
- Roster-based shift sign-up with instructor approval gates
- Live unit telemetry — battery, runtime, geofence, fault codes
- Auto-generated work orders for blade swaps, charging, and hot-swap requests
- Built-in grading rubric: uptime, response time, inspection completeness
- A licensed Privateer remains the responsible operator of record
Get paid. Get certified. Get a sector.
Ten weeks. A real paycheck. A real Privateer mentor. A planned certification the cooperative will use to dispatch work. The program is designed to qualify for Arkansas workforce-development incentives so the wage doesn't come out of the school's budget.
From classroom to Class B.
- Weeks 1–2Safety, Sovereign OS onboarding, Service Template fundamentals.
- Weeks 3–4Battery handling, charging-rack operations, and the R&R lifecycle.

- Week 9Capstone: independently dispatch a 5-unit student-led campus fleet.
- Week 10On It Technician I exam. Cooperative onboarding briefing for Class B eligibility at 18.
What every enrolled school gets.
- Sovereign OS classroom license — unlimited student seats
- Curriculum bundle aligned to NGSS engineering and CTE pathways
- On-call Runner support to keep the student-led fleet on point
- Planned Universal 5-Bay Charging Rack at cooperative cost (financing intended)
- Annual patronage statement — a real-world look at cooperative finance
