Code Bootcamp launched on May 26th with 9 students! We have been working hard, touring local technology businesses and starting our work projects. In the coming weeks we will be profiling each of our students, so keep an eye out for those. A quick insight into our students include three who have moved to Sioux Falls from out of state, three women and one high-school student! Read more
Today we are announcing that Code Bootcamp will be hosting a Gaming Bootcamp this summer!
Shortly after we started talking about Code Bootcamp, we got asked by a number of people about doing a bootcamp geared towards middle school and high school ages, which it is not. That got us thinking, if we did a bootcamp for middle school kids, what we would teach? Building video games! Read more
Our training center is located in the Rock Island Building at 300 North Phillips Avenue. This is where Click Rain, Better Business Bureau, Verizon and Co-Op Architecture are also located. If you need even more references, we are directly across the street from the Orpheum theater in beautiful downtown Sioux Falls.
We are so excited to be covered in the Sioux Falls Business Journal by Jodi Schwan. We had a great time talking to Jodi and Jay, the photographer, was fantastic as well. If you were at our Intro to WordPress sessions, you might have made it in the photo. Read more
Code Bootcamp could not operate without our sponsors — Thank You Sponsors!
Our sponsors are also our customers. We are here to serve them with the correct curriculum and well-rounded graduates. We spent months talking with businesses about the skills that they are looking for in new candidates, and what is lacking in today’s applicants.
When Josh Stroschein and I first started our discussions around launching Code Bootcamp, we both felt very passionate that every student needs to be paired with a senior developer as a mentor. Why did we both feel so strongly about this? One simple reason: it is hard getting started out as an entry level developer! And why doesn’t everyone, regardless of their career, have a mentor to help build their craft? We can fix that for our students, so we made it part of our core goals for Code Bootcamp.
