Full Stack Circle

• Deepen your front end and full stack skills by working hands-on on projects.

• Further develop teamwork skills by collaborating with guides and colleagues on the team project.

• Learn how realistic full stack projects are developed in teams. The topic will focus primarily on JavaScript frontend with React; however, depending on the level and skill of some of the teams, additional technologies could be involved (see list of hard skills below).

• Weeks 1 & 2: Tools configuration, development environment setup, project management process overview

• Weeks 3 - 14: Split into 2-week sprints. Each sprint contains a focus topic according to the project type that needs to be completed. Milestones will break down the project into smaller deliverables. Expect weekly homework (project work) during this period. 

• Demo Day: At the end of the semester, each team will present their projects to the audience of ReDI course community members.

• Sessions: two sessions a week. It is essential that you attend both online sessions. 80% of attendance is required for graduation.

• Guides - No teachers: You will work hands-on with our guides, who are industry experts volunteering to support you. 

• Teams: The Full Stack Circle will be split into smaller teams. Each team gets a project topic to work on for the full semester. Every group will provide regular updates with all the other teams to create an environment of shared learning.

• Active Work: Note this is NOT a passive, lecture-style environment. Each learner is expected to be self-driven and motivated to code and work hands-on each week on the project. ReDI to start coding? Then join us!
