Makers Academy is a 12-week computer programming bootcamp in London. It was founded by Rob Johnson and Evgeny Shadchnev in December 2012 [1] and is designed to turn people with no knowledge of web development into job-ready junior developers in 12 weeks.

Programme

Makers Academy claims to take students with little or no experience in computer programming[2] and teach them the fundamentals of web development. The stated aim is to help students develop the necessary skills to secure a role as a junior developer upon graduation. The course covers professional web development technologies such as Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, SQL, Ajax and softer skills including Object-oriented design, Test Driven Development, Agile Methodology and version control with Git. The main course is preceded by a 4-week, part-time, online 'pre-course' which students have to complete first.

The program adopts a "learn by doing" approach, achieved largely through self-directed, project-based work. Students are encouraged to work in pairs on practical coding challenges, with weekly tests, culminating in a final project which is presented to hiring partners on "Graduation Day".[3] Makers Academy claims a 100% success rate in getting graduates into jobs as junior developers.

Curriculum

The course is split into 16 weekly sections (12 weeks of intensive learning, preceded by a 4-week, part-time, 'pre-course'):[4]

At the end of each week students are given a test to gauge their progress, with merit stickers given to those who pass the test.[5]

Women in tech

Makers Academy claim to be attempting to tackle the issue of the lack of women in the IT Industry.[6][7] They offer a £500 scholarship to any woman attending their course,.[8]
