Take a project from first prototype to public demo. Build the product, connect the data, deploy it and show the room what you made.
Outcome. Finish with a live project and a public demo.
Four Monday evenings, 3 hours each · physical
Small steps, real builds. Everything in this school runs on your own laptop, so the laptop has to be ready before the first module starts. Twenty minutes this week saves you the first half hour of the session, which is otherwise spent watching your neighbour build while your installer downloads.

The AI is not a magic box: treat it as a fast junior developer who needs a written brief, and you will know what to do when it goes wrong.
