Students complete a capstone project coded entirely from scratch. With guidance from experienced instructors, they build real applications—from games to AI tools—using Python.
Students don't just learn syntax, they create applications they're excited about. From game development and data visualization to machine learning experiments, our curriculum adapts to each student's interests. By the end of the course, every student completes a capstone project they can showcase.
													Each student will complete their very own final project, completely coded from scratch. With the guidance of our teachers, students will create their very own AI Chatbot.
