Pathways

A pathway is a direction you choose to take your programming. Code can be used for almost anything, and that's the point: instead of everyone solving the same problems, each pathway points you toward a different kind of them — finding patterns in living things, designing the algorithms behind clever solutions, turning data into decisions, building games as systems, or automating the everyday tasks that eat your time.

The core skills stay the same across all five; you're still writing real Python and thinking computationally. What changes is the kind of problem you aim those skills at. None of them is the easy option — they're five equally serious ways to do interesting work — so pick the one that makes you curious, because curiosity is what carries you through the hard parts.
