University students who have written some code before — in any language — and want to build real products. You don't need to be an expert; you need to be curious and willing to work every week.
No. You should know basic programming ideas such as variables, functions, and loops. AI writes most of the code in this course, and you learn to plan it, review it, test it, and explain it.
How software is designed and how its parts fit together, how to direct AI with clear specs and context, how to review and debug what it produces, and how to make it secure. Every week you will explain your own code to the instructor.
Classes are in person in Hossaina, three sessions a week for eight weeks. The exact venue, days, and times are shown on this page once confirmed, and enrolled students get them by email.
A laptop (Windows, Mac, or Linux) that you can install software on, and a charger. An Android phone is useful in week 7 but not required.
