Driven by Microcourses

Focused, Practical, and Fast

Each mini-course is small on purpose. We focus on one skill at a time, helping you master it fully before moving to the next. This lets you build confidence and speed without overwhelm.

Once you’ve built the foundational skills, we guide you through the actual process of drafting flowcharts and process diagrams — the most common figure types in computer-related patents.
