The number One reason why most people never even build their first project
Before AI it took month to build your first meaningful project. The scenario: I want to automate my garden sprinkler system
the reality then: I have to train & struggle for month to do that.
The reality now: with AI co-coding you can build it in two weeks with a browser based dashboard.
why Ai matters
AI is your workhorse
AI and You
AI enhances efficiency
Upscale skills summary
2-4 weeks per Tier
Tier1: Street coder
Let’s dive into the ESP32-S3, packed with AI acceleration, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth—perfect for Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects.
We’ll focus on essential coding skills first. Then, get ready for AI coding: Build master prompts, create a plan for the whole build injected with your creativity, vision and context. Once we have this we wil use different AI platforms to create the code and on-the-fly short lessons to understand the code at the same time.
Your first keystone project will be an advanced Rebel Glitch parking assistant or a Wi-Fi enabled alarm system with remote monitoring via a web server.
As you grow, create projects like smart gardening systems or home lighting solutions, tackling real challenges and have more projects for your portfolio.
Tier2: Underground builder
User experience is crucial—start with it like Apple does. Build a whole ecosystem around your project.
We’ll first create a professional dashboards linked to a database for data storage and viewing. Using AI, we’ll seamlessly maintain the designed UI and add code to make it super functional. You will fully implement GitHub and even use services to host your pages directly from GitHub Free.
Finally, we’ll develop a mobile app with a professional GUI to control a robot. Full-stack vibe coding in record time.
If you already code, you’ll appreciate the ability to achieve all of this in just 2-3 weeks.
Your keystone project: A mobile app a& web interface to control your ESP32 projects created in Tier 1. Yes, you have built an ecosystem/value around your projects that will enhance your portfolio drastically.
Tier3: Breach architect
Detecting movement is useful, but detecting unrecognised faces is even better. This shift takes us from generative AI (creating things) to predictive AI (predicting things).
Tier 3 and 4 will upskill you to become a Vibe coder for AI edge devices. This is a big deal. AI will make many jobs obsolete, but yours? It will flourish.
You’ll start by creating, testing and training datasets with the ESP32 training board. You will add trained AI modules and get predictive feedback from them within your microcontroller. Then, you’ll progress to advanced projects using the Rebel Glitch AI Edge Industry board, using neural processors, advanced processors for fast inference and a whole lot more.
Your keystone projects: two intelligent edge device projects that can train themself.
Tier4: Legend of the underground
Upskill our projects with instant voice commands, image recognition, and sound generation, these upgrades complete your journey into a complete ecosystem.
We will guide you in creating projects that were once considered impossible, helping you become a true master of AI edge devices. We will leverage all the skills you have acquired, integrate AI into your mobile app, connect it to your databases, and develop AI agents to query them.
Things that would have taken months will now be done in weeks. And you will learn our AI agents, ADK, and api's to make you even faster.
Your cornerstone projects will include two self-learning initiatives that incorporate visual and voice capabilities.
Rebel Glitch hardware
We made it even easier for you
Rebel Glitch AI Training board
The board that we use in all upskilling for tier 1, 2 and 3 (part 1).
It includes the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, a distance and light sensor, buzzer, LED’s, buttons and potentiometer. This board comes as a kit with a breadboard, jumper cables and additional LED’s and resistors so yo can follow along in our hardware prototyping section. There are bigger kits too if you want to go out all the way.
Our hardware partner, Bot Shop, have them available for sale.
The Details
Rebel Glitch AI Industry ready edge device
Proof of concept has been done and we are even more excited about this board than before.
Here is just some of it’s capabilities:
- ESP32-S3 for WiFi, Bluetooth & I/O control. With additional external memory instead of an SD card, camera and screen connectors.
- Modular build: Slots for neural processors, MAIX voice & video processors, GPS module and voice processors. We made in modular so you only use what you need.
- Build on board: High quality amplifier for sound, mems microphone, distance laser mapping laser sensor, Gyroscope ad accelerometer.
Expected release date: February 2026. We have a dedicated discord channel to follow along and to suggest more features and ideas
Progress: 30% completed
