Got questions? We got answers!

Do I need prior SysML v2 experience?

No. We start from fundamentals and assume no SysML v2 experience. Familiarity with systems engineering concepts is helpful but not required.

How much time should I budget per day?

Each day’s content takes roughly 15–30 minutes: a short video (up to 5 min), a blog post for deeper context, and an optional hands-on exercise in Syside.

What if I fall behind or miss a day?

All content remains available throughout December and beyond. After December 24th, we’ll publish everything as a self-paced course. Go at your own speed.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Registered participants get browser-based access to Syside Cloud with pre-installed daily challenges, no local installation required.

Is the event free?

Yes. The videos, blog posts, and Syside Cloud access during December are entirely free. The videos and blog posts will also be available after the event.

Can I participate with my team?

Absolutely. Each person should register individually to get their own Syside Cloud workspace, but you’re welcome to work through challenges together.
