This is definitely a step in the right direction. For the past year, students have come to Odin after completing Codecademy and asking "okay, I know some syntax, now how do I actually build something?". I'm glad you've got your sights set on getting them out of the sandbox and toward the real world. The empowerment of knowing they can actually build something on their own is totally addictive and you've until now left students still hungry for it. I hope your new offering really helps them take that first concrete step into real-world development and I'm excited to see what it can do.

Plus then I get to focus more on the other major issues with online education like helping students work together :)
