How we teach

Three commitments we hold ourselves to.

Every instructor still practises

Teaching is part of the week, not a replacement for the work. Curriculum gets rewritten when the tooling moves, which is constantly.

Labs are reviewed by humans

Your submissions get written feedback from the person who taught the module — not a rubric applied by a script.

Office hours four nights a week

Small-group debugging where you bring the thing that is broken and work through it with someone who has fixed it before.
