Academy Courses

Exploratory courses emphasize exposure to new ideas and some basic conceptual understanding, with a taste of the breadth of skills one might learn and with the desire to encourage students to consider a career in a particular technology area or type of technology-related business.

Foundational courses develop a breadth of conceptual understanding and practice of beginning and intermediate skills that form the basis for choosing one or two areas to specialize.

 Career-Ready courses give students the depth of skills needed to prepare for an entry-level job or further specialization using iterative learn-and-apply skill cycles in every lesson.
