Frequently asked questions
Common questions from parents about this track.
Is my Class 2 child too young for an olympiad?
No. Foundation is designed for Classes 2 to 4 with a friendly, visual interface and questions that reward simple reasoning, not reading-heavy tests. The goal is curiosity and confidence, never pressure.
Does my child need to know how to code?
Not at all. Foundation introduces logic, patterns, and basic digital ideas through playful challenges. It is a first, gentle on-ramp - prior experience is not expected.
How is a young child's attempt kept fair and safe?
Foundation is treated as formative and light-touch, with honor-code and statistical anomaly checks rather than intrusive proctoring. Whether your child appears on any public leaderboard is opt-in and controlled by you.
