What students ask first.
I'm in class 6 — is this for me?+
Yes. ET DAKSHA is built for K–12 across three age bands: Juniors (6–8), Young (9–10) and Future Leaders (11–12).
Do I need to know coding?+
No. Many tracks are about ideas, design and problem-solving. AI tracks teach you what you need as you go.
Will my parents need to do anything?+
Parents get an opt-in summary so they know what you're working on. No extra setup needed from them.
Is it really free for students?+
Yes. The Solo plan is free forever. Schools may add premium features for their cohorts.
