Tuneni-enabled Courses
We've developed complete courses and workshops across programming, data science, and applied Python skills—built on state standards where applicable and refined through real deployments. Each course integrates AI tools that keep teachers in control: from automated grading and performance insights to AI assistants that help students become better collaborators with AI, not just consumers of it. Our programming and data science courses have run in correctional facilities, while our Python for Algebra and robotics workshops have reached K-12 students in rural schools. They're how we built and validated our platform, and we continue to offer them as turn-key solutions.
Python and Database Essentials
A hands-on programming course designed for learners with no prior technical experience. Students progress from foundational concepts—variables, control flow, functions—through practical database work with SQL, culminating in a collaborative robotics project where teams program and deploy a physical robot using Python.
Delivered through the Tuneni platform, the course runs entirely offline via WebAssembly, making it accessible in low-connectivity environments including rural communities and correctional facilities. AI-enabled tools provide personalized feedback while teachers maintain instructional control through our teacher-in-the-loop architecture. The newest addition to this course is our AI assisted coding activity. Just like in the real world, students learn how to work effectively with an AI on coding tasks while learning the fundamentals that are critical when using AI coding assistants.
Students leave with more than coding skills. They leave with evidence that they can tackle something difficult—a foundation for further learning or simply the confidence that comes from real achievement. Additionally, all of their work is compiled into a portfolio they can use as a reference or to share with future employers.
Cybersecurity Fundamentals with Python
A practical introduction to cybersecurity for learners from any background. Students build over 5,000 lines of Python code across topics including data encoding, cryptography, password security, malware detection with YARA rules, and network fundamentals—culminating in a capstone project analyzing a simulated security breach.
The course emphasizes transferable principles over tool-specific training, preparing students to adapt as the cybersecurity landscape evolves. By completion, students compile approximately 300 pages of documented code and notes into a portfolio demonstrating job-ready skills.
Delivered through the Tuneni platform with full offline capability, the course brings cybersecurity education to learners in low-connectivity environments. Teacher-facilitated instruction provides the coaching, feedback, and encouragement that self-paced alternatives lack—helping students stay engaged and achieve their goals.
AI Fiction Writing Workshop (Coming Soon)
A middle school writing workshop that teaches students to use AI as a thinking partner for creative writing—moving beyond "prompt and paste" toward genuine collaboration between human creativity and AI assistance. Students learn to brainstorm story ideas, develop characters, and refine drafts while maintaining their authentic voice and authorial judgment throughout the creative process.
The workshop embeds AI literacy directly into the writing experience. Students practice crafting effective prompts, critically evaluating AI suggestions, identifying when AI outputs miss the mark, and understanding proper attribution for AI-assisted work. Activities are designed around Bloom's Taxonomy, progressing from basic AI interaction toward synthesis and creation grounded in students' own ideas.
Delivered through the Tuneni platform with offline capability, the workshop reaches students regardless of home internet access. Teacher-facilitated instruction ensures all AI interactions are logged and reviewed, keeping classroom use aligned with academic standards and community values.
Introduction to Applied Data Science
This course takes students from foundational Python data structures through real-world analytics workflows—data wrangling, exploratory analysis, visualization, and functional data pipelines. Students write and work with over 5,000 lines of Python code across 10 lessons using Jupyter Notebooks, the same environment used in professional data science roles.
Built on Tuneni's offline-capable platform, the course uses teacher-in-the-loop AI to provide personalized feedback on open-ended analytical work. Students engage with diverse datasets—NBA statistics, health surveys, fitness data, Pokémon, video games—developing the critical thinking to handle different data types and analysis contexts. The course culminates in a group "Data Science Detective" project that integrates all skills into a real-world investigative scenario.
Like all Tuneni courses, this is designed around authentic assessment and project-based learning—not auto-graded multiple choice, but genuine analytical work reviewed by teachers with AI assistance. Students also receive all their work in a portfolio format for reference of their work products.
Algebra I with Python
A programming course that bridges coding fundamentals with algebraic thinking, designed for middle and high school students with no prior experience. Students learn variables, control flow, functions, and loops while seeing how Python mirrors mathematical notation—how def f(x): return 2*x + 3 is simply f(x) = 2x + 3 in code. The course culminates in students building tools to solve and visualize quadratic equations, applying the quadratic formula to scenarios like optimizing a Pokémon attack's damage over time.
Relatable examples from Minecraft, Gravity Falls, and children's literature keep students engaged while reinforcing algebraic concepts through immediate, interactive feedback. Each lesson pairs guided practice with independent problem-solving, building both programming skills and mathematical confidence.
Delivered through the Tuneni platform with full offline capability via WebAssembly, the course reaches students in rural schools and tribal communities where connectivity is limited. Teacher-facilitated instruction ensures students receive the coaching and encouragement that makes challenging material accessible. Students leave the workshop with a portfolio of their work.
