How the cohort runs
Weekly rhythm.
Lectures and labs
Taught by industry practitioners — the people building with these tools in production.
One project thread
A project that runs the length of the cohort, so every week's material lands on something you're actually building.
Weekly reviews
Progress reviewed every week. Feedback early, when it's cheap.
Completion
Documented completion and a skills assessment.
Full-time attendance, project milestones met, capstone presented and evaluated by industry experts, and a skills assessment — that's what completion means here.
Prerequisites
Before you apply.
Educational background
Degree: Bachelor's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Status: recent graduates (within two years) or final-year students completing before the program starts.
Foundational knowledge
Programming: one language common in AI — Python, Java, C++, or R.
Mathematics: calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics.
Data structures & algorithms: arrays, lists, trees, graphs; sorting, searching, dynamic programming.
Technical skills
Basic machine learning: regression, classification, clustering, neural networks.
Software development: Git and modern IDEs.
And the rest
Analytical problem-solving. English proficiency. A genuine interest in AI and the willingness to study full-time for three months.
Recommended: prior AI projects, internships, research, or certifications.
