FAQ
COMMON
QUESTIONS.
What's the difference between a community member and a working team member?
Community members join the Discord, attend events, and collaborate with other builders — no application needed, open to any teen. The working team is the core crew that actually organizes and runs the fork. That's selective and requires an application.
Do I need coding experience to join the community?
No. The community is open to any teen interested in tech, at any skill level. Show up, contribute, build things.
What does the working team application involve?
A short form about what you've built, what role you want to play, and why Kolkata. We review every submission and follow up directly.
Is there a cost?
Nothing. Both tracks are free.
I'm not based in Kolkata. Can I still join?
Community — yes, fully. Working team — we need people who can be present on the ground in Kolkata for events.
