Software Engineering · FrontendWeeks 1–6
Interfaces people can actually use
TypeScript, React and Next.js — building the thing users touch.
Cohort One · Applications open
Twelve people. One room.
Sixteen weeks in Bida, Monday to Friday. You build one real product with real users — and leave with a thing that runs, not a certificate.
Production tools, used for real
Two specializations. Many tracks. One product.
Software Engineering · BackendWeeks 2–8
The server, the database, the schema
Node, Postgres and Drizzle. Modelling data you have to live with.
Software Engineering · DataWeeks 7–14
Reading what your users actually do
Instrumenting a product and changing it on evidence, not opinion.
Software Engineering · ShippingWeeks 1–16
Getting it in front of people
Git, review, CI and deploys — every week, not just at the end.
Product Design · UXWeeks 1–6
Research, flows and testing with real people
Talking to users, mapping the journey, and cutting what does not work.
Product Design · UIWeeks 3–10
Visual design and a system that holds up
Type, colour, layout and components that survive contact with a build.
Product Design · CraftWeeks 1–4
The tools designers actually work in

What you'll build
You don't do coursework. You ship a product.
From week one you're building one real thing, for real users. The work is the curriculum.
Build real software
A product with users, not toy exercises or graded assignments.
Work like a team
Version control, reviews, deploys — the way working engineers do it.
Leave with a thing that runs
The proof at the end is your product — not a certificate.
A week in the studio
Sixteen weeks, one build, shipped in public.
01
Week 0 — Setup
Meet your cohort and choose the product you'll ship. You leave the first week with a decision, not a reading list.
02
Weeks 1–6 — Build
Ship something small every week to real users. The work is the curriculum, and shipping is the deadline that keeps it honest.
03
Weeks 7–14 — Grow
Iterate on real feedback; make it work for people. This is the longest stretch because it is where most of the learning happens.
04
Weeks 15–16 — Ship
Launch, present, and hand it over running. You finish with a product you can show people and keep building on.
Inside the studio
A room in Bida where things get made.
Sixteen weeks, Monday to Friday, in person. This is the place and the rhythm.

You show what actually runs
Who this is for
For people who’d rather build than be lectured.
01You can already write a little code, or you learn fast on your own.
02You can be in Bida, in person, Monday to Friday, for sixteen weeks.
03You want to make one real thing — and you finish what you start.
04You are honest about where you are and want to get much better.
Who’s teaching
Taught by people who ship for a living.
Working engineers run the studio day to day — reviewing your code, sitting with you when you’re stuck, and holding the bar for what “shipped” means. No lecture theatre; a room where things get made.
Cost
One figure. Instalments if you need them.
