CurateLearn Tech Academy · Batch Zero

Graduate beyond junior.

The first academy where students graduate as highly competent, production-ready mid-level engineers — by building real products in real teams for one full year.

Real products. Real teams. Real engineering pressure.

[ 01 ]

Real-world engineering

No simulated tutorials. Students build live systems under real constraints.

[ 02 ]

Expert mentorship

Learn from active, former, and retired engineers from top-tier tech organizations.

[ 03 ]

Actual products

Build useful products from scratch or take ownership of systems already scaling.

[ 04 ]

Cross-functional teams

Software, AI, and hardware students collaborate on one live product.

MON Brainstorming class — plan, unblock, align
TUE–THU Module classes taught by mentors
FRI Demo Day — ship, present, get critiqued

Three tracks. One product floor.

Get invited to the product floor.

CTA teams ship and present on Fridays. Register once to receive partner invitations when Batch Zero Demo Days open.

Placements, internships, and proof of work.

Verified learner outcomes will publish here as Batch Zero progresses. No inflated claims, no borrowed case studies — only results CTA can stand behind.

BATCH_ZERO / IN_PROGRESS

The first outcomes are still being built.

Placements and internships will appear here once they are confirmed and approved for publication.

A world-class mentor bench.

Expert engineers, operators, and product builders helping students think, build, and ship at a higher level.
