Meet Our Scholars
The Web Development Bootcamp proved to be an invaluable experience for me in furthering my interests and giving me pertinent subject matter to put on my resume for software development.
Whilst the curriculum is not for the faint of heart and can get quite demanding at times; their world class staff made the experience one I will never forget.

I am so grateful to have been a BrainStation Impact Scholarship recipient for the Data Science program. The practical, hands-on approach of the program is outstanding, and so necessary! The educators are awesome, and really push for your success. In 3 months, I have walked away with so many more skills than I could have imagined.
Considering the technical interview process in this field, I would not have felt as confident applying for roles with the material covered in my Masters program alone. BrainStation has really prepared me for real world, on-the-job application. I am so excited to see how my career progresses! The Impact Scholarship has truly been a life changing opportunity.

I had a fantastic experience with the BrainStation UX Design Bootcamp! The educators were knowledgeable and the opportunity to learn alongside such diverse and talented designers was invaluable.
I gained confidence in my design process in addition to the hard skills. While the 12-week program was intense, the rewards more than validated the effort. I would highly recommend BrainStation to anyone looking to shift careers or dive into a new industry!

BrainStation was a windfall for me. It provided the structure and guidance I was looking for... I loved the caliber of the educators who helped me learn so much. They were extremely personable and made you want to show up to class everyday.
The projects were amazing and a lot of the material they taught is current and future-proof (something that a lot of bootcamps are lacking). The process is intense but they do a good job of preparing you to enter the job market.
