I.
The Programme

A serious cohort. An unhurried syllabus.

The Founders' Web is a 10-day live online bootcamp for school students of Class 9 to 12. Each evening combines a structured technical lecture with hands-on construction. The student writes the first line of code on Day 1, deploys the first website on Day 3, and finishes the programme with three live websites under their own name.

The cohort is small by design. Selection is not academic; it is intent-based. We accept students who can articulate, in two or three sentences, what they would build if they could.

The programme emphasises craft over completion certificates — though one is issued. The intended outcome is a student who, on Day 11, opens an editor without prompting and continues building.

Principles

Three commitments this cohort makes.

01

Build, don't watch.

The student writes the first line of code on Day 1. The student deploys the first website on Day 3. There is no passive viewing. The work is the lesson.

02

AI as instrument, not crutch.

The cohort teaches students to brief AI — not to copy from it. To direct an LLM with context, constraint, and criteria, the way a working engineer does. A skill that compounds.

03

Three projects, all shipped.

Each student deploys three live websites under their own URL by the close of the programme. Not exercises. Not screenshots. Working web addresses, on the public internet.

III.
Syllabus

Ten evenings, structured.

DAY 01
First Principles of the Web
The browser, the server, and the request lifecycle. HTML as document structure. The first page rendered.
Foundations
DAY 02
CSS — The Discipline of Visual Design
Typography, the box model, layout systems. The grammar that separates a working page from a finished one.
Design
DAY 03
Project I — Deployment & Hosting
Version control fundamentals. Static hosting via GitHub Pages. The student's first live URL on the public internet.
Project I
DAY 04
Programming with JavaScript
Variables, functions, events. The minimum viable model of programming. A page that responds to a user.
Code
DAY 05
The Vocabulary of Good Design
A close reading of why Apple, Linear, Stripe and Aesop look as they do. The rules underneath taste, taught in plain language.
Design
DAY 06
Project II — Multi-page Architecture
Navigation, responsiveness, the structure of a real site. Deployment to Netlify under a custom subdomain.
Project II
DAY 07
Working with AI — The Practitioner's View
How a working developer briefs an LLM. The discipline of context, constraint, and criteria. Where AI helps, and where it must be overridden.
Method
DAY 08
The Personal Site — Architecture
A practitioner's portfolio: hero, work, point of view, contact. The grammar of self-presentation on the web.
Build
DAY 09
Project III — Refinement & Release
Motion, metadata, the small touches that distinguish a polished site from a working one. Deployment to Vercel.
Project III
DAY 10
Review, Critique, & Certification
Each student presents to the cohort. Considered feedback. The Certificate of Completion is issued.
Finale
IV.
By Day Ten

What a graduate walks away with.

01

Three live websites

Real URLs on real hosting. A personal page, a topical site, a portfolio. Hers. His. Theirs. — permanently.

02

A signed certificate

Issued by Yushu Excellence Technologies. A document worth attaching to school files, college applications, and a first résumé.

03

The technical vocabulary

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, hosting, prompt design. The working idiom of a builder.

04

The disposition to build

The actual outcome. The settled belief, by the morning of Day 11, that making things on the internet is something one does.

V.
Admissions

A small, considered cohort.

Right for the student who…

  • i. Has wondered how a website is actually made.
  • ii. Has an idea — an event, a club, a venture — that deserves a real web presence.
  • iii. Reads carefully, asks better questions than the average classroom rewards.
  • iv. Wants a useful skill before the long summer slips by.
  • v. Will commit to ten consecutive evenings without missing one.

Not for the student who…

  • i. Wants a certificate without the work that earns it.
  • ii. Cannot attend live; the cohort is built around live participation.
  • iii. Is looking for a passive watch-and-pause tutorial.
  • iv. Expects to be told the answer rather than to find it.
  • v. Already builds production websites professionally.
VI.
Instructor

Taught by a working engineer, not a textbook.

PP
Senior Software Engineer
Yushu Excellence

Pulkit Pareek

Senior Software Engineer at Yushu Excellence. A practising engineer whose work spans blockchain-based systems, AI-powered software, open-source projects, and IoT. A regular at hackathons — with a few wins to show for it — and an unmistakable preference for shipping over talking about shipping.

VII.
For Schools

A summer programme worth extending.

For school administrators looking to offer their students a meaningful online summer programme: The Founders' Web can be delivered as a private cohort for a single school, with timing and recognition aligned to the school's calendar.

  • i. Delivered live, online — no logistical burden on the school.
  • ii. Project-based outcome — every student finishes with three deployed websites and a signed certificate.
  • iii. Curriculum aligned to the skills schools are increasingly being asked about — web literacy, AI fluency, applied computing.
  • iv. Group enrolment is available with school-aligned timing and joint recognition on the certificate.
For Schools

Request a school proposal.

Share your school's particulars and an estimate of cohort size. A tailored proposal will follow within one working day.

IX.
Common Questions

Questions, answered carefully.

My child has not coded before. Will the cohort be too advanced?
No. The cohort is designed precisely for students with no prior coding experience. The progression is deliberate. By the close of Day 1, every student has built and is reading their own first web page.
What does the student need on hand?
A laptop, a stable internet connection, and a modern browser. The entire programme runs in the browser; no software installation is required.
Is the certificate recognised?
The certificate is issued by Yushu Excellence Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an MSME and DPIIT-recognised technology company. It is appropriate for school portfolios, college applications, and early résumés.
What is the daily timing?
6:00 PM to 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time, every evening for ten consecutive days. The schedule is fixed; it is designed to fit comfortably after a school day.
Is attendance compulsory?
Yes. The programme is built on continuity. Each session presupposes the previous one and prepares the next. We ask that students commit to attending all ten sessions live before applying.
Is there a refund?
A full refund is available before the programme begins. After Day 1 has commenced, the tuition is non-refundable. The expectation, frankly, is that a student who applies has decided to attend.
Cohort 01 · Summer 2026

Ten evenings.
Three sites.
One serious summer.

The cohort is held small. Admissions are open until the seats are filled. Apply when you are ready to commit to ten evenings.
