21st Century Skills
In a world where data is the new oil. Technology is being integrated at an exponential rate. That means having a profound understanding of the digital world is a must for changemakers of today to become successful leaders of tomorrow.
What is it?
While Euforia's Imp!act Program inspires creativity, equips changemakers with the knowledge on how to begin tackling global challenges, and gives them a chance to get feedback from experts, we bring you code for imp!act to show you how to turn that into reality. Over the course of two weeks, participants will immerse themselves into the different aspects of relevant technology.
This course aims to brings our participants from ZERO programming knowledge to that of an internship level. You will experience five days of programming fundamentals, three days of workshops, leading up to a three day hackathon where you create a functioning product using the skills that you've just learned! After this bootcamp, the choice to bring what you create even further is yours.
