3 weeks. 15 sessions.
One shipped product.

Mental models: client, server, API, database, deployment. Then: AI tools, GitHub, version control, project setup.

Turn 'I have an idea' into a buildable first version. Then: layout, design systems, using AI to improve quality.

How to explain what you built, why it matters, who it's for, and what you learned.

Define what you're building: what it does, who it's for, what's in v1, and what's explicitly cut.

Repo created, environment configured, first working screen deployed. You leave with something live.

The main interaction of your app should be working by end of session.

Secondary features, data handling, user flow completion.

Debug, unblock, refine direction. What's stuck? What's next?

Review progress, course-correct if scope is drifting.

Everything in the final product should be working by end of day — even if rough.

Design consistency, edge cases, error handling. Make it feel like a real product.

Final deployment to the internet. Test on real devices. Fix anything that breaks.

Last refinements. Prepare your demo talking points.

Practice your demo. Get feedback. Tighten the story.

Live demos to parents and guests. Present what you built.
