 FAQs

  • Students will complete their projects during the week! During live sessions, they'll meet other students, play engaging games to understand the AI tools they're working with, and give feedback on other student's projects!

  • This is a self-paced course. We highly recommend students attend live sessions for the social aspect of this program, but if students miss a few throughout the experience, that's ok!

  • 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!

    Once enrolled, we'll share a form you can fill out to request credit.
