No fixed catalog. You bring a project you care about, and a professional mentor guides you from idea to a shipped, working thing — with AI as your copilot, not your replacement. You leave able to explain and rebuild every part of it.
Fee-based · scholarships available · no one turned away for inability to pay
Bring something you actually care about: an app you wish existed, a tool for a family business, an idea from class.
You’re paired with a mentor who’s shipped real software. They guide, they don’t do it for you.
You leave with something that exists in the world — deployed, demoable, and yours.
Start by shipping with AI as your copilot. Level up to building the intelligence itself.
Ship a real app — with AI as your copilot.

Illustrative — the project is yours. Your mentor helps you scope it into a buildable MVP.
The content changes with your idea — the engineering loop doesn’t. And underneath it, you follow our 5×5 learning method, so the skills actually stick.

Training is fee-based and funds our nonprofit mission. We never want cost to be the reason a student can’t build — scholarships and sliding-scale options are available for every program.
Every project is scoped and priced individually — cost depends on workload, duration, and mentorship depth. You'll get a clear quote during intake.
