Ten one-year syllabi. Each names its big question, its single new tool per semester, its units, and the capstone every student ships. Full teacher-ready markdown files are included in the curriculum package.

“How do we teach a machine to act in the real world — and how does it learn?”
CAPSTONE

A tabletop disaster mission: follow the line, find the victim, signal, return. Two public attempts.
“When does text beat blocks — and what can we build once it does?”
CAPSTONE

Arduino logs the world, Python tells its story: one pipeline from sensor to chart to claim.
“What happens when devices talk to each other — and to models that learn?”
CAPSTONE
Connected Device
An IoT gadget with a live dashboard — shipped with its own one-page datasheet and privacy note.
“How do we build machines that decide well when nobody is driving?”
CAPSTONE
Autonomous Challenge
League-style tabletop autonomy: junction decisions, object handling, and a formal design review.
“Can we ship something a real person uses — and stand behind it?”
CAPSTONE
Venture Studio
Teams take a real brief from a real client — discovery to build to user testing to public launch.
“What kind of builder are you becoming?”
CAPSTONE

One deep artifact — competition robot, deployed model, or gallery installation — defended before a review board.
