  • From having no background in coding whatsoever to being able to create a project of my own that I can be proud of, I feel that the only way I would have been able to push myself in the course was because of my instructors.

    Rida S.

    AI and ML with Python

    The teachers were patient and explained all the concepts well. I was able to go from little to no Python knowledge to coding a Discord bot, I also made friends who are interested in coding.

    Working with blueprint was way more interesting than I expected and it’s very fun to see my ideas come to life.



    Jerry Y.

    The lectures contained lots of insights, I learned many aspects of product design that I wouldn't learn elsewhere. The teachers were helpful and friendly as well. I also enjoyed making the project through the phases of product design.

    Coding the drones to do specific movements around the obstacles was what I liked most about the course. The overall experience was great and very beneficial as I could use the knowledge I gained in future coding and engineering.

I chose to take this course to learn more about coding in a fun way and prepare for my application to a university. I liked how helpful my instructor was with questions and how open-ended the final project was.
