TEACHING METHODOLOGY
PROJECT-BASED, MARKET-DRIVEN,
HUMAN-CENTERED
We don't just teach technology-we teach how to lead with it. Our courses are built around real-world challenges from top companies, using a project-based learning (PBL) methodology, where students design full prototypes, pitch to executives, and develop essential skills in collaboration, leadership, and execution.
OUR PILLARS:
Learning through projects: All subjects are integrated into multidisciplinary, real-world challenges.
Technical depth and business fluency: Students master computing, business, and leadership simultaneously.
Soft skills and leadership: Focus on collaboration, communication, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
