Welcome, future coding superheroes! Are you ready to take on the challenge of DirectEd's main boot camp? 

Now, we're not going to sugarcoat it - this is going to be tough. But just like Iron Man once said, "Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk." And with consistency and perseverance, you'll be soaring through the coding challenges in no time.

Our main goal here is to prepare you for an exciting six-month graduate program filled with real-world projects, internships, and even potential job opportunities. So, buckle up and get ready to code your way to success!

The boot camp is divided into Six Modules, each lasting two weeks (Kenyan students) or four weeks (Ethiopian students). Think of it like leveling up in a video game - each module brings you closer to becoming a master coder.

A web development course ready for DirectEd Scholars.
