 Key Features of This Program

 *Flexible Attendance*: Each class focuses on a distinct, standalone skill. Students can choose the classes that interest them without falling behind in the overall course.

*Varied Projects*: Each class involves a small project or skill-building exercise. Students complete practical tasks while learning, so they have a sense of accomplishment after each session.

*Gradual Progression*: Although the classes are independent, there’s a natural progression in the complexity of skills, ensuring students feel confident tackling each new topic.

*No Pressure*: If students miss a week, they can easily pick up where they left off, as no single class is a prerequisite for the others.

We aim to find a balance between flexibility and structure,  for those who may have varying schedules or interests.
