    Overview

    This course trains students to use ChatGPT as a coding partner while specializing in JavaScript, Java, or Python. Learners explore language basics, build mini-projects, and use AI for feedback, debugging, and optimization. They complete tasks like quiz apps, management tools, or web apps, then create a final capstone project using ChatGPT for planning, coding help, and problem-solving.

    This program empowers students to use ChatGPT as a collaborative tool while developing complex coding projects. Learners will specialize in one programming language—JavaScript, Java, or Python—and gain focused experience in either frontend or backend development.

    Module 1: AI & ChatGPT as a Programming Partner

    Live demonstration on how ChatGPT supports coding, debugging, and real-world problem-solving.

    Guided code review sessions using students’ chosen language.

    Module 2: Core Language Mastery

    Students build fundamentals based on their selected track:

    Python (Backend Logic): OOP, classes, methods → text-based quiz app

    Java (Backend Development): Core syntax, logic building → student-grades CLI system

    JavaScript (Frontend Web): DOM, events, forms → interactive web app

    Hands-on exercises supported by AI-guided problem solving.

    Module 3: AI-Supported Project Development

    Project 1: Quiz application with ChatGPT-assisted design and validation

    Project 2: Management-based application (To-Do app, Diet Tracker, or Student Manager)

    Students enhance features using ChatGPT for ideation and implementation.

    Module 4: Debugging & Optimization

    Real-time debugging challenges

    Performance improvement tasks with AI-driven suggestions

    Module 5: Capstone Project

    Learners independently design and build a real-world solution using ChatGPT for research, planning, coding, and documentation. Example concepts: AI tutoring bot, digital portfolio, voting system, weather dashboard, diet planner.

    Outcome

    By the end of the course, students will: ? Master foundational coding concepts in one language ? Understand AI-integrated development workflows ? Build deployable, functional projects ? Strengthen problem-solving and debugging skills
