Hi-Kod

Hi-Kod is a 3-stage course that has 52 hours long content in total. At the beginning, the students receive an 8-hour long training where they learn algorithm with Scratch. This part of the course consists of an online path that the students go through on their own asynchronously. At the end of this training the students establish a basic algorithm knowledge before they proceed with software.

After the algorithm training, the course expands into 3 different fields where the students are allowed to choose one that they wish to proceed with. These fields currently include Mobile App Development with Flutter, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence with Python, and Front-End Web Development with HTML and JavaScript. The course fields are updated and changed in different periods of the course according to the need analysis of the sector; different fields like Game Development were included in previous periods. Once the students choose one of these fields, they receive a 24-hours long online training in the course of 6 weeks. These workshops are conducted online by an educator in 2-hour long sessions twice a week. At the end of these workshops, the students who entered the course as beginners reach a level where they possess introductory level algorithmic thinking and programming skills.

In addition to the technical workshops, the students receive soft skills trainings throughout the course. These soft skill trainings include GitHub trainings – one of the most important visibility platforms for software developers to access their livelihoods-, role model events, mock interviews and LinkedIn profile sessions. These soft skill training sessions and events add up to 12 hours of content.

At the end of the workshops, the students deliver a group project with their learnings from the course. The completion of this project is a requirement for graduating from this course. The students receive a total of 8-hour support from the educators and mentors throughout the 2-week project development process. The completed projects are published in the Kodluyoruz website: Front-End Projects, Game Development Projects, Data Science Projects.
