Applications are now open for the first cohort of the African Women Engineering, Leadership and Entrepreneurship Academy (AWELE) Academy. This is a 12 week coding bootcamp (Monday – Friday, 9am – 4pm) starting from September 5th, 2016. The experience starts with a 4 week part-time course, Foundations, which is completed remotely before going to the campus. That’s followed by the full-time 12 week immersive, held on-campus at the Isolo headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria.
While on campus, students learn through a mix of lectures, hands-on workshops, projects, peer-programming, leadership, presentation, entrepreneurship, start-up ventures, pitching, team building, ethics, morals and much more!
