YOUR PROJECT OPTIONS
Sustained work.
Substantial experience.
3 months$6,000USD
4 months$7,600USD
Project scope, participation and deliverables are agreed individually. Stage timing depends on your background and project scope. Projects do not guarantee interviews or employment.
WHAT YOU WORK TOWARD
A demonstrable technical result
Develop a working implementation or demo, supported by clear structure and usage notes that connect the problem with the approach.
An engineering process you can discuss
Document baselines, metrics, experiments and failure analysis. Use evidence to explain improvements and the limits of your approach.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Good questions.
Clear answers.
A few things to know before you take the next step.
Have another question?01Who are these programs for?
Our programs are designed for ambitious undergraduate and graduate students pursuing technical careers in the United States, with a focus on Silicon Valley. Areas of focus include software engineering, machine learning, robotics and autonomous driving.
02Do I need a technical background to get started?
Your background and target roles shape the plan. Foundation & Career Development supports learners building a structured roadmap. Career Accelerator is intended for an intermediate technical foundation, while Focused Coaching serves learners with a strong base and specific preparation needs. Class prerequisites vary: Python requires no prior Python experience; the ML and agentic workflow classes recommend Python.
03How does coaching differ from a group course?
Coaching is personalized around your background, target roles and preparation needs. Small-group courses focus on Machine Learning, Algorithms & Coding Interviews, Python Programming, C++ Programming or Building Agentic Workflows. Courses range from 10–20 hours and $2,000–$3,500 USD per student. Contact us for the schedule and details of your chosen course.
04Which parts of the interview process can you help with?
Interview preparation covers behavioral questions, mock coding interviews, system design and domain-specific technical questions. The emphasis depends on your target roles and selected coaching program.
05How do I choose a coaching program?
Start with your current technical foundation and the support you need. Foundation & Career Development offers 40 hours for a broader learning and career roadmap; Career Accelerator offers 30 hours to build on existing skills; Focused Coaching offers 10 hours for selected topics or interview needs. Share your background and goals when you get in touch.
06What does a mentored project involve?
Work through a defined problem, staged deliverables and ongoing feedback, from a baseline through implementation, integration, validation and presentation. Projects typically last three to four months. Topics, scope, participation and deliverables are agreed individually, and stage timing depends on your background and project scope.
07What are the project options and prices?
The three-month project option is $6,000 USD; the four-month option is $7,600 USD. Scope and participation arrangements are confirmed individually. Discuss the proposed project and what it includes with us before enrolling.
08What can I expect to develop through a project?
The project pathway focuses on a working implementation or demo, an engineering process supported by metrics and experiments, and a clear account of your own contribution. Agreed deliverables depend on the project. The aim is work you can demonstrate and decisions you can explain in technical discussions.
09Do programs guarantee referrals, interviews or a job?
No. Coaching, classes and projects focus on developing technical understanding, practical execution and career readiness. Project participation does not guarantee employment. Referral opportunities subject to availability; referrals, interviews and employment are not guaranteed.
