Common questions
Do I need to have any previous knowledge to join the Club?
No. The idea of the club is to introduce material that's accessible to people from different backgrounds. Being interested in the subjects is enough to guarantee a fruitful participation.

The initial list of contents can be found here. Any changes in order or introduction of new material will be communicated to the members through the chat platform.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription through your personal dashboard. Payments are made through Polar.
Can I get guidance on my personal project?
The Club is dedicated to studying insights offered by the material we're studying. You can make use of the group chat to share references with other members and promote collaborations.
For assistance from the instructor on a specific project, a mentorship program is offered. If you're interested, send an e-mail to hello[at]cucumbersalad.me .
What happens if I miss one of the live meetings?
As from June 2026, the Club doesn't have a tool to record and store previous meetings yet. However, this service is going to be implemented soon.
