I started this non-profit to address the bootcamp problem: https://garagescript.org/ https://garagescript.org/ After trying out different methods of teaching, here's what works for us: 1. We do peer to peer teaching. If a student learns arrays, he/she is in charge of teaching it to new students. This builds the ability to communicate technically. 2. Students are code reviewed from the first line of code they write. As challenges get harder, inefficiencies are caught through code reviews and explained to them by their mentors. 3. Rather than building their own ideas, students build products that everyone on the team use on a daily basis. We have our own internal hosting, our own email, stackoverflow, and student progress, all built by the team of students. By making students work together on one big project that runs exactly like an engineering team (with sprint planning, code reviews, project discussions), students not only get work experience but also get to learn with others through trial-by-fire. Its incredibly fun for everyone. 4. Since we are so young, we have only graduated 3 students, but each of them love their jobs and were able to jump right in to their issues and get stuff done. They were also able to have in-depth discussions with their teammates. Having worked with so many engineers, I personally value technical soft skills. When I work with engineers who can communicate / collaborate well, I feel that I can teach them anything.
