Frequently Asked Questions
Do participants need to know how to code?
No! The camp is designed for beginner-to-intermediate coders. Anyone can start learning today with zero knowledge about Python.
A few hours doesn't seem like a lot of time, how are people building bots that fast?
We jump-start the process with a Python framework that learners can use, and show them how to add features. They still get all the benefits of learning to code.
