Before an offer
We publish dates, meeting times, time zone, weekly workload, delivery tools, capacity, mentor roster, and named safety contacts.
Family guide
Clarity before commitment.
A family should know who is responsible, how communication works, what technology is needed, and exactly what a cohort asks of a student before accepting a place.
Before participation
Families review the safety policy, communication channels, recording rules, code of conduct, and data practices.
If details are missing
Do not accept an enrollment offer. Contact both founders and ask for the complete cohort brief.
What a typical week includes
Active work, not passive watching.
Live learning
Scheduled online workshops, questions, and worked examples. Exact frequency is published per cohort.
Independent practice
Problem sets, code, experiments, or project milestones. Workload varies by level and is disclosed before enrollment.
Feedback
Code review, office hours, mock-contest review, or project checkpoints using approved program channels.
Family visibility
Families receive schedule and communication expectations. One-to-one mentorship is scheduled and guardian-informed for minors.
Technology and supervision
What students need.
Technology
Reliable internet, a computer capable of running a browser and code editor, and access to cohort-approved video and communication tools.
Workspace
A reasonably quiet place for live sessions and sufficient local permissions to install or use required development tools.
Supervision
Compute Forward is an educational program, not childcare. A parent or guardian remains responsible for a minor’s general supervision and online access.
Communication
Approved, visible, reportable.
Program messages
Application and cohort operations use official email and announced cohort channels. Mentors must not move minor participants to private personal messaging.
One-to-one support
Sessions are scheduled, purpose-specific, and guardian-informed. Visibility or auditability requirements are set in the cohort brief.
Recordings and images
No recording, screenshot, testimonial, or public student story is used without specific prior consent. Participation does not require publicity consent.
Report a concern
Email both founders at anishkoppula@gmail.com and kaushik.atla@gmail.com. Immediate danger should be reported to local emergency services first.
Admissions and privacy
What happens after an application.
Secure receipt
The application is stored in protected backend storage and assigned a reference. It is not written into public website files.
Fit review
A founder reviews level fit and contacts the applicant or guardian. No automated system makes the decision.
Informed choice
The complete cohort brief is shared before the family accepts. Application data can be deleted through a verified request.
