FAQ
Who is it for?

Learners in Grades 6 to 8. No coding experience is needed.

What does a day look like?

Three hours plus a break: a warm-up game, a skill, an investigation, a build or a story, then reflection.

What if something breaks?

That is the method. Children are handed a way to diagnose it, not the answer.

How are skills assessed?

Each skill is rated on four levels at the start and end of the week. Parents receive the document.

Fees, seats and venue?

[To be confirmed] Venue: DLF Phase 1, Gurugram. Book a discovery call for details.
