Project-Based Learning

The course follows a project-based learning approach. You learn hands-on through projects the whole semester. Each project lasts four weeks and includes a recap week, where the previous content is recapped.

Weekly Milestones

The projects are broken down into weekly milestones. Every week, you work on one milestone. You finish one part of the project each week and build it over time. This way, you can immediately implement what they learned from the course in their projects. You present your weekly milestone in the Coaching Session.
