Blink and you’ll miss it. Here’s DirectEd’s summer update!
In this newsletter
Over the past 12 weeks, our incredible students have successfully completed more than 10 projects! From meme-generators and tic-tac-toe games to web browser extensions and social media platforms. Out of the initial 42 students who entered the bootcamp, 16 have passed all 5 oral module and can now proudly call themselves full-stack web developers!
For their final project, students had to independently define a problem and then build a full web application solving this problem. Listen to the students presenting their work here or check out the code from all submissions here!
In addition to the coding curriculum, our students have participated in a number of workshops to further prepare them for success. Nicholas Hrynuik held a series of workshops on the development lifecycle, covering code reviews, product specifications and more, Bart Jaworski held a workshop about "Atomic Habits" to help students build routines and Alicia Pollard spoke about “Values, Goals and Dopamine" just to mention a few.
On Friday August 4th, we have invited Jessica Pointing for masterclass on How to Ace Interviews. Jessica is currently a PhD candidate in Quantum computing at the University of Oxford and has previously studied at Harvard, MIT and Stanford. She has internship experience from Google, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and NASA.
