🎉 Celebrating Two Years of The Collab Lab! 🎉
We're celebrating our 2 year anniversary at The Collab Lab. Help us celebrate by firing the confetti cannon!
The Collab Lab is…
- Collaborative group project practice
- A place to work alongside your peers in a fully remote setting
- An opportunity to learn from experienced developers
- Volunteer run and free for participants
Collab Lab gave me agile team experience I didn’t get through my coding bootcamp. I honestly don’t think I would have landed that first job offer without being able to talk about my experience with pair programming and resolving merge conflicts. Beyond that, I made some great friends!~Caitlyn Greffly, Associate Software Engineer at Zapproved
Projects
Over time, we will build out a range of different projects. The first project on offer has the following characteristics:
- Project type:
- Mobile web app (PWA)
- Tech stack:
- React, Firebase, Netlify
- Team size:
- 4 developers
- Project duration:
- 40 hours per developer (5 hours/week over 8 weeks)
Join us!
Successful Collab Lab participants come in having already learned basic web development and programming concepts. We don’t teach coding; we teach collaboration! You don’t need a ton of experience, but you should have completed the equivalent of a coding bootcamp where you’ve learned (at a minimum) basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and have completed a project or two in React.
Our next cohort will kick off on January 2, 2022. Applications will be open from December 12 – 18 and applicants will be notified of their status the following week.
Our mentors are professional web developers and engineering leaders. Project or product management skills are helpful, though not strictly required. Mentors work in pairs to guide cohorts and we do our best to ensure complimentary skills among the mentors on the team.
