Build 4 Frontend Projects in 4 Weeks! A Frontend Projects Cohort
Details
REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT WITH THE LINK BELOW
Have you taken Frontend classes at GDI or bought courses elsewhere, but have no completed project(s) to show for it? Do you feel you’ve learned enough HTML & CSS to tackle small projects, but need motivation and support to get going? Maybe you want to dust off your Frontend skills (it’s been a while...) and get a consistent practice going again.
Good news! GDI is launching a 4-week Frontend Projects Cohort in March to get you coding. No lectures! No slides! Just BUILDING THINGS! And getting code review and feedback from our instructors.
How it works:
Each week, you’ll receive a pre-selected UI design to code at your own pace, on your own time. There are no [set] lectures; the focus is on independent work-–practicing with the skills you already have; knowledge sharing with others in your cohort; and learning to find resources to get your project(s) to completion.
There will be weekly lab sessions where instructors review submitted work; answer questions; and assign the next project. In between the lab sessions, you’ll use GDI’s Community Slack channel to communicate, ask further questions, share tips, and get on-going support from instructors. See the Cohort FAQs for more details.
Why you should join:
A new UI every week = 4 new projects to add to your portfolio
Getting individualized, guided and specific feedback from instructors
Focused practice on using your HTML & CSS skills
Learning in community with others
