Frequently asked questions

When is the next camp?: We are currently in the process of planning our next camp. Currently we are looking to hold another camp this winter as we have in the past, but this is not set in stone yet.
Where will the camp be held?: Because of covid, we have moved all of our opperations online. We have used this format for the last couple camps and have found it worked really well.
Can I suggest a course?: Sure! We would love to know what students want to learn. There are future camps in the works that we hope cover more topics.
Are the live streams from the bootcamps available?: We do not have any recordings available to the public at the moment. However, students accepted within the camp have access.
