History
A working understanding of human history — from the first hominids to the global world we live in now. The trunk walks the throughline most people never got: how civilizations actually emerge, why empires rise and fall, and how the modern world was made. Clusters dive into the cities, classical mind, slave trade, revolutions, world wars, and how historians actually do their job.

Law
Legal literacy — how law actually works. The trunk gives you the operating system: where law comes from, how courts and precedent work, contracts, torts, property, criminal vs civil, and constitutional structure. Clusters dive into reading cases, contract mechanics, IP, your rights with police, and the startup legal toolkit.
Environmental Science
A coherent, mechanistic picture of how the Earth actually works as a coupled system — its biogeochemical cycles, climate physics, ecosystems, pollution pathways, and the leverage points where solutions live. The trunk gives you the throughline a working professional needs to reason about environmental claims; clusters dive into circulation, ecology, paleoclimate, climate modeling, pollution, energy, and mitigation.
Algebra & Precalculus
The foundation curriculum that prepares you for any university-level math course — calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, statistics. Builds symbolic fluency from variables and equations through functions, polynomials, exponentials, trigonometry, and the proof and set-theory groundwork that modern mathematics rests on.
Mathematics
A working understanding of mathematics — the universal language scientists, engineers, and quants use to describe the world. The trunk gives you the throughline from how mathematicians think to how math models reality; clusters dive into proof, trig, calculus mechanics, advanced linear algebra, number theory and cryptography, probability, stochastic processes, and the foundational limits of math itself.
Blockchain & Web3
A working understanding of blockchain and Web3 — what these systems actually are, why they were built, and how the pieces (wallets, consensus, smart contracts, tokens, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs) fit together. The trunk gives you the orientation to follow any crypto conversation; clusters dive into cryptography, custody, consensus, smart-contract engineering, DeFi mechanics, NFTs/DAOs, and building dApps.
Databases
A complete curriculum on databases — from the relational model and ACID through PostgreSQL internals, production operations, modeling patterns, and the modern data ecosystem (NoSQL, distributed SQL, warehouses, streaming, vectors). Built for working engineers who want database knowledge that survives any system they touch.
