This series covers topics to help those with zero to no background in Python become fairly familiar with it. You will learn to use modules, functions, among many other topics and by the end of the series be well versed in using this for data and project analysis as well as ease of working.

Each week we will go over a certain set of MCQ and FRQ questions to prepare students for the AP CSA Exam.

In the AI era, speed wins. Learn to ship across every major framework: web, mobile, blockchain, desktop, AI and IoT in just 8 weeks. Why This Matters Now: The software landscape in 2026 rewards versatility over specialization. Companies hire builders who can assess a problem, choose the right tool, and ship fast, not developers who know one framework deeply. With AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code and Cursor and other gen AI tools, the bottleneck isn't syntax anymore; it's architectural thinking, tool selection, and execution speed. This series trains you to think in systems, ship in hours instead of weeks, and build a diverse portfolio that signals technical maturity to employers in high-velocity environments like quant trading firms, startups, and research labs. What You'll Experience: Join a eight-week journey where you'll build fourteen production-ready applications across web, mobile, blockchain, desktop, and AI technologies. This isn't about tutorials. It's about shipping real code every session and building a portfolio that proves you can execute fast. Examples of what we might be building: - Mobile Apps: React Native trackers, progressive web apps - Web Foundations: Next.js sites, Flask dashboards, full-stack trading journals - Decentralized Apps* Solidity smart contracts, Web3 dApp frontends - Desktop & Systems: Tauri apps, Python CLI tools, Chrome extensions - Backend & APIs: FastAPI REST services, Apollo GraphQL servers - AI & Emerging Tech: Claude API earnings analyzers, Telegram bots - IoT: create simple robotic based with devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi Session Structure (60-90 min): Note: Some projects may take more than one session depending on where we get Roughly: 10 min framework overview → 30 min live coding → 30 min you code (try working with another learner) → 20 min deploy → 10 min extensions Prerequisites: - Programming fundamentals (Python, JavaScript, or similar) - Command line and Git basics - HTML/CSS knowledge helpful - Comfort with learning fast and shipping imperfect code Required Setup: Laptop with admin access (school computers may not work here) Software: Node.js 18+, Python 3.10+, Git, VS Code Free accounts: GitHub, Vercel, Railway, Supabase, any generative AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc) Session-specific accounts announced beforehand - Stable internet connection

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Java programming for students with no prior coding experience. Designed as a bridge to AP Computer Science A, the course covers most major AP CSA topics while emphasizing conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and clear program design. Students will begin with the fundamentals of how Java programs work, including variables, data types, expressions, and control flow. The course then progresses through conditionals and loops, method design and decomposition, object-oriented programming with classes and constructors, and an introduction to data collections such as arrays and ArrayLists. Students will also be exposed to standard algorithms, basic runtime reasoning, recursion at an introductory level, and ethical considerations related to data and computing. By the end of the course, students will be able to read, write, and reason about Java programs using the core structures and ideas required for further study in AP Computer Science A or other introductory computer science courses. No previous programming experience is required.
