Why you should care?

📈

🔨 Break-then-Fix Drills

Debug intentionally broken features in real time, because that’s what new hires actually do their first week.

📈

🏗️ Legacy Code Rescue

Dive into messy, pre-existing codebases and refactor for performance, learn to read before you write.

📈

🔄 Async Handoffs

Practice crystal-clear commits, PR reviews, and hand-offs across time zones so you can thrive in remote teams.

Overview

In eight high-pressure weeks you’ll debug ugly legacy code, refactor until tests pass, upstream fixes to open-source projects, and push your own features live, before finals week. Startup engineers pair-program with you, run async hand-offs, and treat every GitHub issue like a production fire drill. When it’s over, you won’t just “know React”, you’ll have code in production and PRs merged upstream that anyone can click. By the end you’ll be walking in your interviews like it’s already day one on the job.

The Training

Your will be challenging your skills intensely with the real world projects in five phases, each with an increasing challenge!

Foundation

Week 1-2

Configure the stack, set up Git branching & CI, familiarize project management and write your first unit tests. Get a Green Build badge: every commit passes in CI.

Systems Build

Week 2-4

Design database schema, add integration tests, containerise, deploy to a staging URL. Perform Staging Release—feature live in a protected environment.

Ship & Open-Source

Open Challenge

Harden code after review, run load tests, deploy to production, merge ≥ 3 PRs into relevant OSS projects. Create Public Footprint—production URL + verified OSS contributions.

Break-then-Fix Challenge

Week 4-6

We deliberately seed defects in a legacy module; you diagnose, patch, expand test coverage, and redeploy under mentor supervision. Earn Resilience Clearance.

Showcase & Review

Week 6-8

Deliver a live demo, publish technical docs, polish repo history, and defend decisions before a mentor panel. Interview-prep and formal endorsement of internship-ready skills.
