Projects and capstone
Build evidence that can be reviewed, explained and improved.
Projects should make decisions, trade-offs, tests and operating context visible.
API-backed product feature
Define the problem, build the artefact, document decisions and review production readiness.
Low-level design case
Define the problem, build the artefact, document decisions and review production readiness.
Distributed-system design exercise
Define the problem, build the artefact, document decisions and review production readiness.
Capstone with tests and technical documentation
Define the problem, build the artefact, document decisions and review production readiness.
Learning support
Support is designed around completion, evidence and readiness—not passive attendance.
