	The AI Developer Diploma ~~trajectory~~ prepares students for entry-level work as an AI-assisted software developer. We follow California's [https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ct/sf/documents/infocomtech.pdf#page=22 Software and Systems Development] ~~high school~~ model curriculum standards, with emphasis on the Intelligent Computing Standards as well the O*NET competency requirements, to ensure that graduates have the qualifications for a job in their home market or offshored in a more developed economy. Of most importance, this learning stack has AI built into its DNA, not only for learning better, but for using it as part of your coding, where employers now expect their programmers to use vibe coding tools to be more productive. But at the same time, want quality code, not "AI Slop".

The first Alpha Cohort is going to focus on AI-Assisted Software Development, and will be made up of learning sessions that are primarily streaming vibe coding sessions by Jacob Walker. This means:

			* Students will likely be confused at times, because the first priority of the session is to do coding, with students being allowed in.
			* While waiting for the LLM to do its vibe coding, there will be time to answer questions.
			* Having prior programming experience helps, but just like we naturally learn a human language from exposure and trying things, students will learn the programming language the same way.

			Learning sessions will go from 15:00-17:00 GMT Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, although the schedule can and will change at times, given the pilot/alpha nature of the program.
