New this Year: A Schedule Packed With Tech Skills that Set You Up for Success
You may remember our free Workshop Wednesdays last year being, dare we say, epic? But we’re always looking to one-up ourselves, so this year we’ve made our free workshops even better.
Each workshop series in software engineering, user experience (UX) design, and data analytics carries a single project prompt throughout five weeks of two-hour long workshops — each week building on the skills you learned in the previous week — until you complete a final deliverable to showcase your new-found tech skills. Check out the list of workshops below to see what you’ll learn:
| Software Engineering | UX Design | Data Analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner’s Guide to Coding | Beginner’s Guide to Design Thinking | Beginner’s Guide to Data |
| Build a Simple Website with HTML & CSS | Master User Research & Interviews | Clean & Prepare Your Data |
| JavaScript Basics | Customer Journey Mapping Basics | Excel Analytics Basics |
| Build an Interactive Website with JavaScript | Turn Sketches to Wireframes in Figma | Visualize Data in Tableau |
| Write Your First Script with Python | Turn Wireframes to Prototypes in Figma | Access Data with SQL |
In week six, we’ll have live sessions where you’ll get to meet members of our team like admissions specialists, instructors, and career coaches to learn more about our bootcamps, short courses, and career outcomes. Even better? The floor will be yours to ask any of your burning tech questions.
Is the thought of committing to five weeks of workshops giving you a flashback to back-to-school scaries? Fear not. We know committing to that is a lot, and we’ve got your back. If you sign up and end up only being able to attend one workshop, you’ll still get the recordings from the entire series within one week of the last session.

FAQs
Q: Is there a limit to how many workshops I can sign up for?
Definitely not. We want you to attend as many free workshops as you can.
Q: What if I can’t attend any of the live workshop times? Will I still be eligible for the bonus?
As long as you sign up for at least one workshop, you’ll get the recording of every workshop in that series (Software Engineering, UX Design, or Data Analytics) within one week of the last session on October 26. You’ll be able to access the bonus through the recording, and it’s good through the end of the year.*
Q: If I can only attend a workshop, say on week 4, how will I get the materials to be caught up from weeks 1-3?
We’ll send an email before every workshop with all the resources you need to be prepared, even if your first workshop is on week 4. It will definitely help to get prepared the day before — these workshops have a lot to cover in two hours, and we want you to be set up for success.
Q: Something is preventing me from accessing one or more of the tools/datasets needed to participate live. Should I still attend?
Don’t worry. If you can’t participate in the live demo, you should definitely still join live to watch, learn, and ask questions. Think of it as a livestream demo that you can later practice on your own anytime after the series once you get the recordings via email.
Q: How do I get a workshop recording?
老虎机游戏 a topic and sign up for at least one workshop, and you’ll receive the recording of every workshop in that series within one week of October 26. Although, we think you should sign up for all of them — if you’re able.
Q: What’s the bonus for attending a live workshop?
That, we can’t tell you. What we can tell you is that it’s only available for residents of the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and Singapore. And that it’s totally worth two hours of your day. Free tech skills and a bonus? You can’t go wrong.
