“Not passive learning — active building.”

Program principle

Not passive

Students build a real MVP their teacher didn't specify — and iterate at least twice.

Not memorization

AI is used to apply and create, with attribution and reflection built into the rubric.

Not perfection

Momentum over polish. Ship, get feedback, ship again. That's the loop.
