Missions Unlock

No passive lectures. Each of the 16 missions gives you an outcome, a deadline, and a pass gate. You learn exactly what you need to ship it — then you ship it: a GitHub repo, a live deployed link, and a Loom walkthrough explaining what you built and why.

The rule that runs the whole programme: if you can’t explain it, you can’t submit it.

Every mission runs the same engine — Learn → Build → Deploy → Explain → Review → Improve — so the habit compounds week after week.

Every mission has an explicit AI policy that escalates as you grow — from AI as Tutor, to Reviewer, to directing an AI coding Operator. AI explains, generates, and reviews; you decide, verify, and own the result.

We grade your understanding, not your output — which is why proof beats promises and nobody hides behind a generated answer. The standard throughout: AI-assisted, human-verified.

Mission 13 (the optional Debugging Gauntlet) is the one no-AI gate — four hours, five planted bugs, proctored. Proof you can think without autocomplete.

Missions launch live every Monday, 7:30–8:30 PM (GMT+8) — deliberately after work and after class, so people with real jobs and real lives can actually show up.

From there, the Daily Buildroom runs live every weekday, 7:30–8:30 PM (GMT+8). Mentors on camera, your cohort beside you. You build, ship and debug together. Miss a session and a mentor reaches out the same day.

Five days a week, Mon–Fri. Discord is on 24/7 for async help across timezones.

The Daily Buildroom is the evening anchor. Unblock Hours are the morning lifeline — open office hours where you bring whatever you’re stuck on and a mentor un-blocks you on the spot.

Stuck on an error you can’t reproduce? Confused about how an API works? Don’t know how to scope your capstone? That’s an Unblock Hour. No appointment, just show up.

Combined with the Buildroom, you get two live touchpoints a day — and a 24/7 Discord between them.

Every learner carries a live status — it’s how we keep the programme honest and keep you moving when things get hard. We measure shipped, explained missions, never attendance.

The Sigma portal tracks each checkpoint inside a mission, not just the final submission. The moment a checkpoint slips behind your weekly pace, the portal pings a mentor on your behalf — no admin work on your end. You get a real human, not a reminder email.

If you go Red, you’re moved into Recovery Mode: a 1-on-1 with a mentor to reset scope, unblock the real issue, and ship the next mission together.

01 / Mission — Every week ships something real. You don’t watch videos. You deploy a real app, repo, or product feature — and explain how it works.

02 / Pass Gate — You can defend what you built. You don’t pass a week until you can explain the decisions, edge cases, and what AI helped with vs. what you verified.

03 / AI Workflow — AI-assisted, human-verified. AI explains, generates, and reviews. You decide, verify, and own the result. Every mission has an AI usage log.

04 / Build in Public — Proof > promises. Every mission ends with a GitHub repo, deployed link, Loom, and a public LinkedIn + X log entry.
