Why this path works

Every lesson is a rep, not a reading.

A real challenge

Every lesson gives you one concrete task. You write the prompt and run it — no passive watching.

AI coach and grader

The coach nudges you without giving the answer away. The grader scores your prompt against a clear rubric until you pass.

Proof you can do it

Track your progress, keep your streak, and earn a signed certificate when you finish the path.
