FM Live

A live session every week — not a pre-recorded course

Formative Minds Live is a recurring series of workshops and panels hosted by our team, joined by real students and recent grads. Most weeks cover general guidance — course selection, extracurriculars, internships, and getting started with coding — the questions every student runs into. Some weeks go deep on one field instead, like a Computer Science/AI night or a Medicine & Pre-Med panel, where you hear directly from students who've actually done it.

  • A new topic every week — join the ones relevant to you
  • Live Q&A for students and parents, not a video you watch alone
  • Free to attend — register and get the meeting link by email
