What will I learn?
The Makers Bootcamp is designed to prepare you to be successful in a wide range of tech careers, including software, web, and fullstack development.
The focus of the Makers training is how to do well in your new career, not just learn how to write code. You’ll learn how to teach yourself new things really fast, with the help of our self-directed learning style.
Your learning at Makers will be supported by generative AI tools, like ChatGPT or Gemini, and you’ll get guidance on how to effectively use them in your learning and your work. You’ll also have access to our ‘coach bot’: a GPT-4 powered chatbot that will help you think through problems, without giving you the answers.
Self-led Learning
-
At Makers, your goal is to learn how to teach yourself. You'll practise this skill, with our support, to get really good at it.
Self-led learning is the most useful skill in a career in tech, which changes so fast. You'll face new challenges every day and have to solve them yourself - there won't always be someone there to tell you how to do it.
Learning in a Team
-
In your career in tech you'll work with other people to write software to solve problems. So, learning how to work with other people is as important as learning how to write code.
At Makers, you'll spend a lot of time working in pairs and project teams. You'll also take part in our Emotional Intelligence curriculum, honing your soft skills.
Learning with Experts
-
Learning how to get the most out of your time with experts is another essential workplace skill.
The Makers coaches are there to help you - they're the experts in the room - but it’s better when you try solving problems on your own first. If you're still stuck, then the coaches will be happy to help you get unstuck, but you should try your best to solve it yourself first, just like in the real world.
