In July 2025, I set out to build an entire machine learning education platform — solo, in 5 days. No team. No funding. Just one clear mission:

Make real-world AI learning accessible to UK secondary schools — with zero code.

Here’s exactly how it came together.

🧱 Day-by-Day Build Log

Day 1: Spark + Structure

• Idea hits on the train back from my data bootcamp graduation
• Outlined course concept: 5-week ML journey with no-code tools
• Defined audience: KS3–KS4 students, non-specialist teachers

Day 2: Curriculum + Curation

• Mapped learning goals to 5 themed weeks
• Curated 20+ no-code tools (Teachable Machine, Blob Opera, etc.)
• Wrote first draft of lessons 1–2

Day 3: Prototyping & Design

• Built site using Notion + Super.so
• Drafted UI structure and mobile-first layout
• Created branding elements: name, collie mascot, colour palette

Day 4: Build Systems + Automate

• Custom CSS for mobile fixes
• Created login portals for teachers & students
