This week is a new School of Code cohort, and I'm excited to be mentoring again.

Tomorrow is the first day of cohort 17 of School of Code - a free 16-week software development bootcamp - and I'm happy to be mentoring a student again for my third time.
|
|
|
|
I also mentored the winning team at a hack day event in January and [spoke at the TechConnect meetup][0] last year.
|
|
|
|
Last week, I spoke with George Gordon - a recent School of Code graduate who I met at the hack day and later at another meetup I was speaking at.
|
|
|
|
We discussed his experience with coding bootcamps, getting into the software industry and involved with community events and how he found his first Developer job!
|
|
|
|
It will be released soon on [the Beyond Blocks podcast page][1].
