How it works

Learn.

Live classes, from absolute zero. Code by hand or vibe code with AI — the way real products get built now. No experience needed.

Build.

You work on your own idea from the start, with mentors and AI beside you every week.

Ship.

You put one real web application on the internet before the program ends. Everyone ships. That's the promise.
