App Academy JumpStart

Welcome to the App Academy JumpStart program! We're excited to work with you in the upcoming weeks. At JumpStart, you'll have the opportunity to work through our curriculum with App Academy staff there to guide your learning. You'll also meet and work with other students at the same level as you!

We'll provide bonus supplementary material to help you solidify what you're learning:

  • Live coding demos
  • Pair programming exercises
  • Nightly homework

As you may already know, App Academy's prep-work is split into three steps:

You must complete all 3 steps to be eligible for admission to App Academy. Both curriculum steps will take about 24 hours of work to complete.

Step 1 is for those completely new to programming, and you will have two chances to pass an in-class assessment.

Step 2 is for those that have already learned the ruby fundamentals, and is meant to prepare you for the technical interview.

You have 3 options for completing these steps:

Option 1
     Do Step 1 at home before JumpStart. Once you pass the Step 1 online coding assessment (which you can take at any time), you can do Step 2 once you're here (recommended). You'd conclude Step 2 with an at-home technical interview. You'd be at JumpStart for a total of 2 weeks.

Option 2
     Do the first step during JumpStart, take the Step 1 assessment at JumpStart, and return for a second round of JumpStart to complete Step 2. You'd conclude Step 2 with an at-home technical interview. This option may be for you if you're brand new to coding or are struggling with the first step at home. You'd be at JumpStart for a total of 4 weeks.

Option 3
     Do Step 1 during JumpStart, take the Step 1 assessment at JumpStart, and do Step 2 at home. You'll have to complete a technical interview via Skype after finishing Step 2. This option may be for you if you're brand new to coding, but can only commit to 2 weeks of JumpStart.

Note: If you have taken our at-home coding challenge, you have already finished step 1.
