Students got access to special online workshops: they consisted of materials on the study of current no-code tools for creating prototypes, landings, sites, mobile applications, chat bots and marketplaces.

Each lesson was accompanied by a homework - they made it possible to assess the degree of the student's assimilation of the material, as well as tests by which students could evaluate their knowledge. Tasks included both the creation of certain prototypes and tests with open questions.
