How to submit

Leave a comment on the video with #CtrlAltCreateAcademy and the assignment tag, like A01. Blur names, tokens, and file paths. Don’t post a face or a voice that isn’t yours. Don’t post secrets. We log it and spot-check. We can pull a badge for plagiarism or for anything unsafe or illegal.

The Move bonus is optional: any level, any change that works for you, or skip it. It’s never required, never about how you look, and never about earning food. Not medical advice.
