We use the world famous Harvard CS50 programs, with our own twist. This course can result in one or more Harvard Certificates.

All you need to follow this course, is Google Chrome, webcam and microphohne on a fairly modern pc or mac (no chrome-book) with a proper internet connection.
We use a few items (mandatory, 30ec only), including a complete matchbox size microcomputer that can operate as webserver or a gaming device. Costs max: 20 EUR.
With the 15ec program you learn to master the basics of Python programming. Including testing, exceptions, regular expressions, object oriented programming and SQL for databases.
This program can result in a genuine Harvard Certificate.
Available in Dutch and English if group size is sufficient. However all learning material is in English.
Enroll nowThe 30ec program continues, where the 15 EC program left of. After the first period you choose your specialization: Data, Web dev, App dev (not in 2024), or Artificial Intelligence.
Web dev is an assignment based program, building up to developing an interactive website backed by a SQL database.
Data is less structured than Web dev. It introduces you into the world of API's, web scraping, SQL and Mongo, focussing also on business opportunities.
App dev (not in 2024) requires an inquisitive mind and the necessary self-reliance, resulting in a working stand-alone app suitable for mobile or desktop, backed by a database driven API.
Artificial Intelligence is not about asking questions to ChatGPT, but offers an assignment based, mathematical approach to concepts like: search, uncertainty, machine learning, language and neural networks. Not for the faint-hearted!
