4Geeks Academy's motto is Breathe Coding. Just the will to become a developer isn't enough. We are looking for people with the pure desire to give coding a chance in their lives. It is an important professional decision and it cannot be based solely on the availability of jobs or the higher salaries. Our students need to become part of the coding culture. It is the only way in which we believe you can learn to code in such a small period of time.We create coders. Applicants may not have a specific knowledge or background on coding, but our students become –at the end of the program- Junior Web Developers. In order to enroll, we take in consideration three main aspects: (i) Students' passion for learning to code, (ii) the will to start a new profession, and (iii) the awareness on how coding demands can be met: Time and dedication are mandatory to succeed throughout the program.Our students are taught basic to advanced features for web development. Such knowledge is evaluated through daily exercises and weekly projects. Students are driven to progressively build their first web development portfolio. After completion of the program, students are packed with the skills needed to fulfill the needs of a Junior Web Developer. After successfully completing the program, students should be able to collaborate in the process of building and launching a website, web service and/or web platform.What we are building is the best framework for the future of Education. There are over 23,000 open jobs for developers in Florida (Code.org). There are not enough graduates per year to fulfill that demand (We have graduated more than 350 Developers so far). Innovation and tech disruption is delayed by this lack of talent. We are implementing a new concept of Coding Academies based on a Flipped Classroom. More than that actually, we are building a 4Geeks Academy Turnaround Education Methodology.
