Pepe is your academy guide.
Hello, brilliant future AI creator! I’m Pepe, your robot learning guide, and I’m excited to build amazing things with you. Together, we’ll explore how IBM Watson and watsonx can help us understand language, create smart assistants, solve real-world problems, and bring robots to life with powerful artificial intelligence. Get ready to imagine, learn, and build the future one smart idea at a time!
Pepe is ready to teach.
Learning Tracks
Ten pathways take students from first Android screens to advanced AI, IoT, cloud robotics, and professional engineering.
Android Explorer
Meet Android, mobile screens, robot touch interfaces, basic UI controls, and beginner programming ideas.
Android App Builder
Learn project structure, activities, fragments, navigation, XML layouts, and Material Design.
Java Programming
Practice logic, classes, methods, collections, exceptions, and file handling through robot-centered apps.
Kotlin Programming
Build Kotlin-first Android apps with functions, coroutines, flows, null safety, and MVVM thinking.
Android UI Designer
