Do you plan to allow students to attend remotely, or not? What is the grading system like, if your school isn't accredited?

How do you plan on making your students well rounded in the way that traditional colleges are supposed to?

Re remote: We don't plan to allow students remote for now. If you look at the online program, they have massive drop out. The human factor is very important, and having a “physical” school will provide the kind of social environment that is conductive to sustained engagement and learning. It’s easier to motivate yourself and focus if all your friends are doing the same thing at the same time. Struggle on the same pbs and help each other.

Re grade: It's project base, for each project we have a mandatory core to build, and a lot of options for those who would be faster than others. For each project you will get a % completion, from 0 to 200% (with all options).

At the end you will get a certificate (paper and digital). The digital certificate will be issued in a secure environment (256 bits encryption and 2FA) and inserted into a public blockchain (the technology behind bitcoin) so that any employer can instantly verify the validity of the certificate.

Re well rounded: on top of our curriculum focused on technical skills, we insist a lot on soft skills. Students will also interact with the local community (local startups, mentors, etc...). We also have mentors who will come monthly asking questions like "Does computer science make us better human beings" :)
