Students learn how large language models behave, write prompts that hold up under real tasks, build with AI coding assistants while still reviewing what they produce, and ship a small retrieval-backed assistant over their own course notes.
A lab-first introduction to building and deploying a working web app: a React front end, a small REST API and a hosted database, shipped live by the end of the sprint.
Students build working IoT projects in small teams with a hardware kit each: wiring sensors to an ESP32, streaming readings over Wi-Fi to a cloud dashboard and triggering alerts.
