How the journey works.
CTUx uses a 3-level progression system across 5 technology tracks. Students start where they are and grow at their own pace — always building something real.
Level 01
Explore basic technology through fun, simple projects.
Tinkerers is the entry point for all students. No prior experience is needed — or expected. The focus is on building curiosity, confidence, and a love of technology through immediate hands-on results.
Recommended starting point: Most students begin with Computer Explorer to build digital fluency, then choose a build track (Mobile App, Web, Engineers, or Game Dev).
Tinkerer courses
Level 02
Build real projects using coding, design, electronics, and AI.
Makers is where real skill-building begins. Students write code, build working apps, program Arduino boards, and create AI-powered games. Projects are ambitious and the results are tangible.
Prerequisite: completing the Tinkerers level in your chosen track, or Computer Explorer. Some tracks (e.g. Web Development) begin directly at Makers — no prior course required.
Level 03
Create advanced products, apps, games, and smart solutions.
Inventors is where the journey culminates. Students build professional-quality projects: a Flutter app with Firebase authentication, a 3D-printed PCB product, or a full 3D game in Godot. These are genuine portfolio pieces.
Prerequisite: completing the Makers course in the same track.
