FAQ
What if I can't make a live session? +
Every session is recorded and posted the same day, and office hours are drop-in, so you can catch up on your own time and still bring your questions to a live person.
Who is this for? +
Anyone with a problem worth automating. Past sprinters have been founders, investors, operators, educators, and scientists. What they had in common was a specific thing they wanted built.
How much time a week should I expect? +
Plan on 4–6 hours a week: the live sessions, plus time building on your own in between. The people who get the most out of it build between sessions.
Do I need to know how to code? +
No. There are no pre-reqs. Plenty of sprinters ship entirely with no-code tools, and plenty write their first real code here. Your coach meets you where you are.
Can I use my L&D budget for this? +
Yes, and most people do. We'll send an invoice and a one-page summary you can forward to your manager.
Do you offer financial support? +
Yes. Worldwide Studios is a 501(c)(3) education nonprofit and we hold spots for people who need them. Tell us your situation on the sign-up form.
What is your refund policy? +
If the first session isn't for you, tell us before the second one and we'll refund you in full.
How is this different from the fellowship? +
The fellowship is 100 free days in a cohort, working on your own project over a long arc. A sprint is short, coached, and paid. It is the fastest path to one working demo, and plenty of people do a sprint first.
