Many prestigious computer science schools have these kinds of project-based courses where students are expected to work on a few projects throughout the semester. They still have to go through the exams but for us outsiders the projects are the meat.

Example:

https://cs61.seas.harvard.edu/site/2020/

https://cs61a.org/

https://cs61c.org/su21/

Check out the labs and projects.

Not sure which kind of learner you are. I have to have my ass pushed so I registered in a local university. It's out of the top 200 but I don't need to read the material, I just need someone to kick me to move forward.
