The rules of the road.

Last updated: April 19, 2026

Who we are

Tell and Show is a small mentor-led studio that teaches kids 8–12 to ship real software projects in four-week cohorts. "We" and "us" in these terms mean Tell and Show and its mentor-operator.

What you're buying

When you apply to a cohort, we place a $150 authorization hold on your card to reserve the seat. We don't charge the hold unless we accept your kid's application. On acceptance, we invoice the remaining tuition balance. If we don't accept, we void the hold and nothing moves. See our refund policy for the full picture.

A cohort includes four weekly 75-minute live sessions, a shared project workspace, a mentor present at every session, and a shipped project on a URL we host.

What's expected of participants

• Be respectful to the mentor and other kids. Harassment, slurs, and deliberate disruption end a seat with no refund.
• The parent or guardian is responsible for the kid's account, behavior, and compliance with these terms.
• Sessions are recorded and shared within the cohort only. Don't redistribute recordings publicly.

Projects and ownership

Your kid owns what they make. We host their shipped project at a subdomain we control, for as long as they want it live (or until they ask us to take it down). We may showcase public projects in our marketing if you've opted in via the enrollment packet; otherwise we don't.

Limits of our liability

We try hard to run a good program, but software and the internet are messy. The service is provided "as is." We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. If something goes badly wrong with a paid cohort, our maximum liability to you is the amount you paid for that cohort.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be emailed to enrolled families before they take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page changes when the terms do.
