Interactive books that execute Python in your browser, an AI tutor that answers questions about the page you are reading, and live six-week cohorts that turn self-study into a finished credential.
Most online courses give you only one of these three. Wan Academy gives you all three in the same product, because no single one alone is enough to build durable expertise.
Every example runs in your browser through an embedded Python engine. Edit a parameter, see the chart update. Predict the output, then reveal it. Debug intentionally broken cells against hidden tests.
A chat sidebar that knows the chapter you're reading. Ask why your code threw NaN, ask for a worked example with different numbers, or ask to re-explain a concept in plain language — instantly.
Optional weekly deadlines, AI-led Q&A sessions, and a signed completion certificate. Cohort accountability is what carries self-study from page one to a finished project.
From DataFrames to decision models. Covers Python essentials, DataFrames, linear regression with CAPM and Fama-French factors, and clustering for customer segmentation — all with real market data that runs in your browser, in-page diagrams, predict-then-reveal cells, spaced-repetition flashcards, and debug-yourself exercises.
Each chapter is structured prose with code cells interleaved. Click Run on any cell to execute it in your browser; edit numbers, re-run, and watch the chart change.
Predict-then-reveal cells force active recall. Debug-yourself exercises have hidden tests that pass only when your fix is correct. Spaced-repetition cards bring back what you've forgotten.
The AI tutor lives on every page. It knows the chapter you're on, the code you just ran, and the errors you just saw — so its answers are specific to your context, not generic.
Wan Academy is the personal teaching channel of Prof. Xuhu Wan, Associate Professor at the HKUST Business School. Every course is the classroom material he uses with his own students — refined, expanded with the historical and economic context that textbooks usually omit, and made fully interactive so you can learn at your own pace.
