Guided Projects

Guided Projects are interactive, hands-on learning experiences designed for efficient skill acquisition. They provide a focused, practical approach to learning specific concepts or tools in a short amount of time.

The main difference between Guided Projects and Courses is that Courses are more comprehensive, include several modules, and typically require a few hours to complete. Guided Projects are short, focused, step-by-step hands-on labs that can usually be completed in less than an hour.
