FAQs

This program is designed for ages 11-16. But we've had SO many older students (and parents!) asking to do it that we've made some exceptions...
Ping us at hello@dskills.io. We may be able to make an exception for you :)
-
The entire Expedition takes approximately 14 weeks (2 weeks per mission).
But it's self-paced! So if you just have fun with this on weekends or holidays, that's fine. Some students sprint through in 5 weeks -- others spends 2 semesters. It's up to you!
