Build something you can defend.

Describe an app you want to make. Techne plans the curriculum, you write the code, and the credential at the end is one you’ve earned, not one we handed you.

Why builders choose Techne

Not another video course. Techne is a place where you write real code, get it graded, and earn a credential that actually means you can build.

Real graded code

You write real code in the browser and it's really executed and graded. Not multiple-choice, not a video you nod along to.

A Socratic tutor

A tutor that guides you toward the answer with the right question, and never just hands it over. You leave having actually understood it.

Credentials you earn

Finish and earn a verifiable, server-signed credential. It can be failed, so it means something when you pass.

Build what you want

Mastery that transfers

Concepts only count as mastered once you've applied them across more than one project. Knowledge that sticks, not cramming.

Spaced review

A review queue brings concepts back at the right time, so what you learn early is still there when you need it later.

How Techne works

From a one-line idea to a defended credential. It’s the loop that turns describing an app into being able to build it.

01

Describe it. Get a plan.

Describe the app you want to build. Techne's planner turns it into a sequenced, gated curriculum drawn from a concept graph, with every feature ordered so each one teaches something new.

02

Write real code, in the browser.

No toy exercises. You write real code against a real spec, with a live preview beside the editor. Build the thing, see it run, iterate, the way you actually work.

03

Everything is executed and graded.

Your code is really executed and graded in a sandbox across JavaScript, Python, and React. Gates only clear when your work proves it, and a concept only counts as mastered once you've applied it across more than one project.

A tutor that never hands you the answer.

Stuck? The Socratic tutor asks the question that unblocks you. It guides you toward understanding instead of pasting a solution, so you leave having actually learned it.

05

Defend it, and earn a credential.

Each project ends in a capstone you submit and defend through real questioning. Pass, and Techne issues a verifiable, server-signed credential: one you earned, and one that can be failed. Share the public verifier; it means exactly what it says.

Socratic tutor

Meet your Socratic tutor

Techne’s tutor isn’t a chatbot that writes your code. It’s a Socratic guide: when you’re stuck, it asks the question that gets you unstuck, points you at the concept you’re missing, and lets you make the leap yourself.

That’s a deliberate design choice. Anyone can get an answer handed to them now; what’s rare is actually understanding it. The tutor is built to never rob you of the moment where it clicks, so what you learn is yours to keep and yours to defend.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about how Techne teaches, grades, and credentials your work.

Do I need coding experience?

Some help, but no. Techne meets you where you are: the planner sequences concepts so each lesson builds on the last, and the tutor is there whenever you’re stuck. You learn to code by writing real code from day one.

How does the grading actually work?

Your code is executed in a sandbox and checked against behavioral tests, not multiple choice. You see exactly which checks pass and which fail, and a gate only clears once your work proves you’ve got it.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free lets you audit every lesson and run ungraded practice in the sandbox. Pro unlocks the graded path: your work advances mastery, gates open, and you can earn verifiable credentials. Pro is $49/month, or $299/year (about a third off).

Can a credential really be failed?

Yes, that’s the point. Higher titles are hard-gated behind a timed capstone and an adversarial defense. A credential that can’t be failed doesn’t mean anything; ours does because it can.

Which languages can I build in?

Today you can write and run JavaScript, Python, and React, with live preview beside the editor. The concept graph is language-aware, so the curriculum adapts to the stack you choose for each project.
