CURRICULUM

Two tracks. Eight weeks. Real projects, real competitions, real growth.

FOUNDATIONS TRACK

Weeks 1 to 4 are core and every Foundations member completes them. In week 5 you choose your focus for the final four weeks.

WEEKS 1–4 — CORE

01

Python for Data

NumPy, Pandas, real datasets. Load, inspect, filter, describe.

Python is the primary language used in AI and ML. NumPy and Pandas are the foundation of almost every data pipeline you will ever build.

02

Data Cleaning & Visualization

Handle missing values, fix types, Matplotlib, Seaborn, correlation.

Most real world datasets are incomplete and messy. Cleaning and visualizing data correctly directly impacts the performance of any model you build on top of it.

03

Your First ML Model

scikit-learn, train/test split, confusion matrix, accuracy.

scikit-learn is the most widely used ML library for beginners and professionals alike. Understanding how to train, split, and evaluate a model is core to everything in ML.

04

Feature Engineering & Kaggle

First real Kaggle competition submission.

Feature engineering is consistently one of the highest impact ways to improve model performance. Kaggle is the world's largest platform for data science competitions.

WEEKS 5–8 — CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS

ML & Modelling

For students who want to go deeper into machine learning. You will learn how to build better models, evaluate them properly, and understand the fundamentals of neural networks.

Random Forests & XGBoost
Model Evaluation
Neural Network Basics
Final Project & Showcase

Data Science

For students who want to work with data at a deeper level. You will learn how to analyze real datasets, write SQL queries, and turn data into clear insights and visual stories.

Exploratory Data Analysis
SQL & Real Data
Storytelling with Data
Final Project & Showcase

AI Applications

For students who want to build real AI powered tools. You will learn how to use large language model APIs, build and deploy apps, and create systems that can answer questions from your own data.

LLM APIs & Prompt Engineering
Building AI-Powered Apps
RAG Systems
Final Project & Showcase

WEEKLY DELIVERABLES

Every week has one deliverable, something members post in the Discord #show-your-work channel on Friday. Not for grading. For accountability, momentum, and building a public record of your work.

ADVANCED TRACK

This track is self-directed, meaning you set your own goal, define your own project, and choose the competitions you want to compete in. The club provides structure, high-quality resources, and a collaborative community to support you throughout the 8 weeks.

WK 1-2

Define & Plan

Write your project brief. Get sign-off.

WK 3-6

Build

Deep work. Weekly check-ins.

WK 6-7

Ship & Write

Deploy it. Publish your writeup.

WK 8

Showcase

Present to the community.

THREE REQUIRED OUTPUTS

01

One deployed project

A real product, live on the internet, that anyone can use. Not a notebook.

02

One competition entry

At least one Kaggle, Devpost, or equivalent competition submitted before week 6.

03

One published writeup

What you built, why, what results you got, what you learned. Posted publicly.
