In a single weekend, Project Novus shows you how to build apps with AI—and connects you to NYC/Jersey City's growing tech community.
"The workshop was highly insightful, well-organized, and provided valuable hands-on experience that exceeded my expectations."
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

A weekend of hands-on building. Here's the path we follow.
Code with AI as your co-pilot. You'll learn essentials and start building from day one. You will get hands-on with modern AI tools that boost productivity and help you learn by doing.
We've got the space and setup ready for you. Here's all you need to bring to make the most of your workshop experience.
Bring your laptop and charger. Any modern laptop will work - Windows, Mac, or Linux. We'll help you set up everything you need during the workshop.
Bring your preferred note-taking tools - whether that's a notebook and pen, or your favorite digital note-taking app. We'll cover lots of valuable concepts!
Everything you want to know about Project Novus.
Anyone who wants to build and launch real web apps - fast. Total beginner? Product person with ideas? You're in the right place.
Nope. Zero. AI's your co-pilot. You'll be learning by doing, not stuck in theory.
A real, production-ready web app you can show off, use, or even launch as a side project. Past students have shipped everything from closet organizers to AI-powered demos.
Currently we are only offering live in-person workshops in Manhattan.
We keep it modern and practical: v0 + Cursor for AI-assisted building, Next.js + Supabase for your actual stack.
You won't be left hanging. Instructors + the community have your back. We'll help you debug, ship, and celebrate those 'it works!!' moments.
Looking to upskill your team with AI-assisted development? We’ll tailor a hands-on program to your stack and goals.
