FAQ
Answers before you enroll.
Use these details to understand preview access, payment, certificates, refunds, and course fit.
Will students just copy code from AI?
No. Assignments require students to explain what each part does and use AI only for hints, debugging, and examples.
What software is required?
The course uses browser-friendly tools where possible and simple setup instructions for families who want local Python practice.
