G's, a school for engineers and entrepreneurs operated by Digital Hollywood, is renewing its services and entrance exam. It will begin offering nine introductory video lessons from its main "DEV Course" for free, helping beginners learn the basics of HTML/CSS and JavaScript. The school believes that true change comes from the desire to create, not just from studying materials. Accordingly, starting with the October 2026 intake, the traditional IQ test will be replaced with a new "QUEST test" measuring curiosity and a "VISION test" for presenting project ideas. This shift emphasizes the importance of identifying "what to build and why" in an era of AI. The six-month DEV course focuses on hands-on learning to master coding fundamentals, enabling students to effectively command AI tools.
