How Models Work — Machine Learning Academy
🧠 Real hands-on model building
🧩 Puzzle mini-projects
🎓 3 certificates
Level 1 · Beginner
What is a model? — build a simple linear regression by hand, then predict and measure its error.
Not started
Level 2 · Intermediate
Unlocks after your Beginner certificate. Classification, decision boundaries, and evaluation metrics.
🔒 Locked
Level 3 · Advanced
Unlocks after your Intermediate certificate. Overfitting, underfitting, and a final capstone project.

How this works
- Work through each week in order — every week teaches a concept through a real-world scenario, with a live editor to practise in.
- Pass the short quiz and complete the practice exercises to unlock the next week.
- Along the way you'll tackle puzzle-style mini projects that combine everything so far.
- Finish the final mini project to unlock your level certificate — and the next level.
🌱 Level 1 — Beginner: What Is a Model?
What you'll build
Across this level you'll train a simple model that predicts an exam score from hours studied — calculated entirely by hand in plain Python, so you can see exactly how a model works underneath.
🌿 Level 2 — Intermediate: Classification
What you'll build
This level's real curriculum is coming soon — for now, it reuses the same starter page as Level 1 so the unlock chain and certificate can be previewed end-to-end.
🌳 Level 3 — Advanced: Machine Learning Capstone
What you'll build
This level's real curriculum is coming soon — for now, it reuses the same starter page as Level 1 so the unlock chain and certificate can be previewed end-to-end.
