About us

Project Novus is for product folks & founders

This weekend-intensive is for first-time coders, product thinkers, and curious builders. You'll skip the theory and get hands-on from the start—writing real code, shipping real features, and deploying a working app you can actually use.

Once the weekend wraps up, you'll become part of our community—connecting with fellow builders and joining regular Manhattan AI meetups and networking events.

This course was an absolute game-changer for me! It was super productive, and since I’m totally new to coding, picking up stuff like using Cursor, building layouts, and tweaking them felt like a big win. Honestly, it was awesome to see it all come together. I’d love to keep in touch because I’m really excited to dive into app development with the same clear, hands-on vibe. Thanks for making it such a great experience!

Honestly been quite a while since I participated in a workshop as creative and engaging as Project Novus. The spirit of the class and the learning curve was at the top. The whole team of Project Novus were at their toes throughout the 8 hour workshop. Would like express my thanks to team Project Novus. Keep up the great work.

Within the span of a weekend, I was able to develop an entire idea from scratch, having no prior coding experience. Very helpful workshop and I plan to take what I’ve learnt forward and develop more personalised projects
