Stepwise Foundry

Stepwise Foundry is a free, MIT-licensed local programming workbench designed for hands-on programming learning. It includes 408 lessons covering Rust, Python, PyTorch, and Hugging Face with commented starters, documentation links, hints, examples, real local checks, and progress export. An optional mentor review system facilitates interactive learning. The app runs locally without needing accounts or API keys, prioritizing trusted code execution on the user's machine. The project encourages community contributions for expanding lessons and improving the curriculum.
