I graduated from Swarthmore recently, and I wanted to pass along a cool opportunity that may be interesting to some Swatties. Some friends are organizing this coding camp near Swarthmore this summer. This may be especially interesting for Swatties interested in technology. I know the sticker price looks scary, but I believe the organizers are willing to be flexible with that. Please let me know if anyone has questions. "Horizons (www.joinhorizons.com) is the first technology launchpad for college campuses - we are part coding bootcamp, part recruitment platform. Horizons offers an immersive, full-time summer course and part-time school year courses on college campuses. Our mission is simple - we bring real-world, practical software development classes to college campuses and subsequently connect our students with amazing tech internship and full-time job opportunities. Our curriculum (see attached for details) is focused on teaching end-to-end web application skills and more general software development best practices (Ruby on Rails, Javascript, HTML, CSS fundamentals). Horizons also heavily emphasizes the recruitment/career placement process both during and after our courses. We host speaker series and networking events during the course to teach students about the world of technology. Graduates of our course have access to an exclusive network of internships and jobs, which we carefully curate."
