The Background Story

This cohort is all about web and full stack development. Participants will learn more about the MERN Stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS, NodeJS) to build fast, robust and reliable fullstack webapps. Classes are given in many formats, such as online and offline lectures, prepared material book, and sample project, with the aim at the end of the cohort that participants will develop and produce a final project that illustrates all the learned concepts. Judges will be there to rank the top 5 projects and prizes will be distributed afterwards.

As the demand is getting higher and higher for such skillset, you will be gaining not only immense knowledge but also practical workforce as projects at the end of the Cohort are required where all the taught, presented, and resourced material to be implemented in a one-in-all, simple, crossed-platform mobile application.
More networking spaces are created within the 40 participants as well as the GDGAddis staff for more encountered opportunities to be provided on priority for the participants.

You will be re-building a sample project, an an Author Publication Website , and based on that, the course’s material will be presented.
The course is given on an Online Platform via Google Meet with E-Lectures given in a scheduled calendar. Office hours are to be opened where participants can ask the staff and discuss with them their progress in the cohort

The one-month cohort’s schedule is 8 days a month, 2 days a week, 2 hours a day for the e-lecture with follow-up 2 days for Office Hours for 1 hour after each day.
After presenting the final project for a panel of judges, top projects are chosen and rewarded.

Comments

● It was great over all, if there was a progress report and milestone checks to track out progress it would have made it more interactive.
● Encourage or force students to build their project while learning.
● It's great but would be nice if it was in person.
● In my opinion the duration of the cohort should be extended.
