Learning Paths
When to use: Planning your child's long-term coding journey.
Complete Journey
1️⃣ Beginner: JC → Foundation 1 → Foundation 2 → BBP or BBW
2️⃣ Intermediate: BBP ↔ BBW (after program BBP students may want to pursue BBW and vice versa)
3️⃣ Intermediate: BBP/BBW (after both BBP and BBW completed, then can pursue BBD) → BBD (Design specialization)
4️⃣ Specialization Paths (require BBP + BBW completion):
🤖 AI Path: AI 1 → AI 2 → AI 3
🌐 Web Path: W1 → W2 → W3 → W4
📱 Mobile Path: M1 → M2
Tips:
- All students start with strong fundamentals in JC and Foundation
- BBP and BBW can be taken in either order after Foundation 2
- Both BBP and BBW are required before advancing to BBD or any specialization path
- Specialization paths (AI, Web, Mobile) require completion of both BBP and BBW
- Each program builds portfolio pieces and practical skills
- Paths can be customized based on student interest and progress
