On-Demand Video Track

This program uses a “flipped classroom” model.

In a traditional classroom, the teacher teaches you the material live, in the form of lectures. Then, you do the homework on your own.

This program is the opposite. You will get pre-study material made by your mentor.

The group Live calls are a place to go deeper into those topics and ask questions..

6 Jamming & Networking Sessions

Learning alone online is boring & tough. So, this program is structured in a model:
‍
Learn - Ask Questions - Discuss - Apply

Hence every week, there will be a live session for you to discuss and share ideas with your peers, and jam on different problem statements so that you can meet people and learn together.

Community for Lifetime

You learn and grow best when you are surrounded by like-minded people:

You will be made part of a community where you can network, share opportunities, and build relations.

Come for content but stay for the community.

Transitioning from one field of work to another or starting something new often leaves you alone and we understand that. That’s why we believe in the POWER of a community where you don’t hustle alone. You have a support system to support you and cheer for you!
