We’ve created a curriculum like none that has ever existed before.
No lectures. No textbooks.
100% experiential.
2,000+ hours building
Students spend over 2,000 hours across an entire year building professional-grade products in cross-functional teams.
2,000+ hours spent working on a dozen different software products facilitates the level of repetition and the variety of experiences needed for students to achieve technical mastery.
Reps + variety = Technical mastery
Soft skills mastery
Students spend all year building their products in cross-functional teams under real-world conditions so they leave with the soft skills every employer is looking for.
AI-first approach
Students learn to do their job with an AI-first mindset to make themselves 10x more productive and effective.
Résumé-Centric
We determined what skills, competencies, and experiences the ideal product builder has and then worked backwards to design an intense 12-month regiment of software builds optimized to produce that employee.
Product builds increase in sophistication & duration and span different product types.
Intentional Friction
We incorporate numerous additional real-world elements to further optimize graduates for the workplace.
During their product builds, students will experience pivots, unreasonable deadlines, poorly documented code bases, “HiPPO attacks," security breaches, and more — preparing them to encounter and address these issues at work.
Continuous failure creates problem solvers.
We employ a continuous failure pedagogy where students are given minimal instruction and must navigate challenges independently until they’ve hit a truly insurmountable roadblock.
Only then does a pega6 manager intervene to provide enough guidance and support to get them “unstuck.”
This approach ensures that our graduates are highly adept at autonomous problem solving .
