Section 1
The big idea
Hello World is fine for week one. After that, you should build something REAL — something you or someone you know would actually use. AI helps you skip the boring parts and get to the building.
Real examples
- A homework reminder app for yourself.
- A simple game your younger sibling actually plays.
- A study tool for a subject you struggle with.
- A small website for a club, sports team, or family event.
Try it yourself
Pick one real project you would actually use. Map it out with AI. Build the simplest version first (it should do ONE thing). Ship it to one person who will use it. Iterate.
