Drew and James talk about the past week of events, as well as the new ones for the week of November 30th. As we continue discussing some of the education opportunities around the city, we speak with Alex Taylor and Jade Tong, both of whom are currently at Code Core. Alex and Jade are both attending CodeCore’s full-time coding bootcamp. The idea is to get a sense of who they are, what their background is, and why they decided to take the bootcamp. Then, in one year, we plan to follow up and find out how they are doing. This episode continues a segment of the podcast we are calling, “The Changing Face of Education in Tech”.
