The Hitch Academy curriculum is curated by world-class educators to offer a premier learning experience in cutting-edge technology disciplines — AI, robotics, AR/VR and the metaverse. From K-12 STEM through university and professional training, every course connects to the Hitch Open competitions and our open-source stack: learn it, then race it.
Born from UC Berkeley's ROAR platform: Python & AI foundations, 3D perception, autonomous racing, and humanoid skill training — built on our open-source stack and battle-tested in Hitch Open competitions.
From Unity fundamentals to the science of AR/VR and next-gen 3D character creation — an advanced sequence taught by front-line industry experts.
Turn-key campus Physical-AI labs — curriculum, teacher training and annual competition entry — plus professional training for businesses and research institutions, in partnership with UC Berkeley and our 11 partner universities.
The same team behind the Hitch Open World AI Championships and its champion crews teaches every Hitch Academy course — side by side with 11 leading universities.

A modern, streamlined foundation in coding for scientific computing and AI — the launchpad for data science, machine learning and robotics.
Classic data structures and algorithms — sorting, search, trees and dynamic programming — the common language of AI and robotics development.
Complex data analysis and visualization, plus regression and classification in linear/nonlinear problems.
Undergraduate-level computer vision as taught in leading engineering programs — from imaging and features to detection, tracking and 3D sensing.
From perceptrons to deep convolutional networks and reinforcement learning — the modern core of machine learning.
Robotics through the lens of autonomous driving — vehicle dynamics, PID control, lane following, collision avoidance and RL-trained controllers, tuned in CARLA and on RC vehicles.
Unity interface, GameObject components, entry-level C#, interactive audio and 2D/3D art import — finishing with your own buildable project.
Physics-engine elements (Collider, Trigger, Rigidbody) and deeper C# — final deliverable: a playable demo.
The science of immersive 3D perception — how wearables use sensors and displays to stimulate human 3D perception accurately.
AAA-quality character modeling, texturing and real-time rendering — portfolio-ready work.
