Your first 30 days

30 days. One cohort. A real start.

The 30-Day Challenge is your first 30 days on any track, built alongside a cohort, so you gain momentum and ship a real product instead of stalling. Then you keep going, week by week, at your own pace.

Your 30 days, week by week

Four weeks. One shipped product.

The same path as the solo track, just your opening 30 days, run together with a shared deadline.

  1. Week 1

    Scope it

    Pick your track and your first project. Name the user and the problem out loud. End the week with a repo, a README, and a one-line pitch.

  2. Week 2

    Learn what you need

    Walk only the concepts your build needs, each links to free, world-class material. End the week with a running skeleton.

  3. Week 3

    Build in the open

    Commit daily and share progress with the cohort. Point your own AI at the project rubric and fix issues early, not after launch.

  4. Week 4

    Ship it

    Deploy to a public URL, run the accessibility and security checklist, and present. Your live product is the proof, and it carries you into the rest of your track.

Then the rest is yours. The cohort gets you moving; you finish your track solo, week by week, at your own pace. With 16 projects across 8 tracks, every member ships something different, public proof that the path works.
