Concept
HarmonyCode is a Pan-African creative-tech initiative: music, software engineering, and cybersecurity taught with on-site intensity and portal continuity — not a lightweight video product.
The model
- On-site spine — studios and labs where volume of work, critique, and mentorship can match serious conservatory and engineering culture.
- Online continuity — the learning portal carries Point → Story → Lesson units between intensives.
- Dual audience — learners ship portfolios; facilitators get training, manuals, and observation (kept off the public web).
What capital is for ($1.3M start)
- Volume & depth — sustained studio/lab hours and mandatory revision across a 36-week arc (four nine-week blocks).
- Assessment integrity — shared rubrics, calibrated grading, AI-use policies, external critique.
- Live teaching — faculty time, TAs, studio and problem-set norms.
- Facilitator capability — training, manuals, observation, and coaching.
- Proof — portfolios, placements, competitions, partner validation.
Program arc (36 weeks)
- Sonic foundations & digital literacy
- Software & responsible AI
- Cybersecurity as self-defense
- Capstone, identity systems & proof
