Projects they'll build

Put your coding skills into action by building fun, interactive games and creative projects.

01

Dino Runner

Create your own endless runner inspired by the classic Chrome Dino game.

Students will build a dinosaur that runs across the screen, jumps over incoming obstacles, and earns points the longer they survive. Along the way, they'll learn about character controls, obstacles, collision detection, scoring, game speed, and game-over logic.
02

Maze Master

Find your way through the maze without touching the walls!

Students will create a 2D maze adventure where they control a character, navigate tricky paths, avoid walls, and reach the goal. They'll learn keyboard controls, collision detection, coordinates, and game logic while designing their own maze.
03

Snake Classic

Bring back the classic phone game—grow your snake, grab the food, and beat your high score.

Students will recreate the classic Snake game, controlling a growing snake as it moves around the screen collecting food. They'll learn about movement, variables, random positioning, collision detection, scoring, and game-over conditions.
04

Lunar Lander

Master gravity, control your lunar lander, and make a smooth touchdown on the Moon.

Students will pilot a lunar lander across a realistic Moon surface, managing thrust and gravity to carefully control their descent. The goal is to land the rover safely on the landing pad without crashing—introducing concepts like physics, variables, velocity, gravity, and precise controls.
05

Traffic Rush

Dodge traffic, switch lanes, and see how long you can survive at high speed.

Students will create a top-down driving game where their car races along a busy road while slower vehicles appear ahead. They'll learn about player controls, moving backgrounds, traffic spawning, collision detection, increasing difficulty, and score tracking.
06

Flappy Bird

Tap, flap, and fly through the pipes without crashing!

Students will recreate the classic side-scrolling flying game, controlling a bird as it navigates through gaps between moving pipes. They'll learn about gravity, jumping mechanics, collision detection, scrolling obstacles, scoring, and increasing game difficulty.
07

Brick Breaker

Bounce, break, and clear every brick without letting the ball fall.

Students will build a classic arcade game where they control a paddle to bounce a ball and destroy colorful bricks. They'll learn about ball movement, paddle controls, collision detection, scoring, lives, and level progression.

Career & portfolio

Building AI Agents with LangChain

Learn what makes AI "Agentic" and how to build agents. AI agents are changing how software gets built: they reason, take actions and adapt to what they find. This hands-on course gives you a practical foundation in agentic AI with LangChain. You will learn the core ideas, apply them to a real project, and finish with the skills and confidence to design, build, and debug agents of your own.

Python

Coding foundations

Code Your Way to Confidence — Python Made Simple.

This beginner-friendly course takes you from zero to building real projects with Python. Through hands-on lessons and practical exercises, you'll learn core programming concepts, how to organize and manipulate data, and how to think in objects with object-oriented programming (OOP). By the end, you'll have the skills and confidence to write your own Python programs from scratch.
