Committing to a bootcamp is a big life decision. There is often a lot riding on the choice to join a coding bootcamp. Time, money, and investment are all factors prospective students must consider, weighing what is worth committing to. For this reason, many prospective students try to get a feel for the bootcamp they\u2019re interested in before committing fully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One great way to do this is by using resources available from coding bootcamps. Getting acquainted with their potential school is a huge benefit, allowing them to learn what kind of work they\u2019d be doing, and get a feel for the culture of the bootcamp prior to making any further commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why Rithm School<\/a> is excited about the free events it runs. Rithm offers free events to allow future students to feel fully prepared and ready to commit to learning, and feel confident in their decision of choosing Rithm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rithm\u2019s Free Events <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rithm has always been community-focused and a core tenet of the bootcamp is the belief that education should be available to anyone who seeks it. This is why Rithm hosts a variety of free events<\/a> of different kinds and different lengths which can help students get acquainted with the instructors, the teaching style, and the types of work they\u2019d be doing in the bootcamp, before committing to anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free events are meant to foster a sense of community, provide free education for anyone who is interested, and give prospective students a peek into how classes run. All of the events are typically beginner-focused, so they’re great for people who are interested in learning how to code, but aren’t sure where to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The events are typically structured with a live lecture taught by one of Rithm\u2019s instructors, and following by coding practice. One exercise that\u2019s often completed at these events is building a game in a web browser. The events also encourage pair programming, along with the guidance of the instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Info Session Webinar<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the free events offered by Rithm is the Info Session Webinar. In this event, students learn about the full-time web development course that Rithm offers. It\u2019s also a chance for them to meet co-founder Elie, as well as Director of Admissions, Angelina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this session, Elie and Angelina discuss the kind of students that Rithm is looking for, allowing students to see if they\u2019d be a good match. Rithm looks for students ready to embrace immersive learning experiences, lovers of problems solving, and people committed to learning to code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private Accelerated Bootcamp Prep<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This accelerated two-week-long free evening course is taught by Rithm instructors<\/a>. It will fast-track prospective students through intermediate coding concepts, introducing them to the energy of Rithm school, and preparing them for the technical interview that they\u2019ll have to undergo to get into the Rithm bootcamp course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a great way to gauge interest in the material and determine if this is the right path for a prospective student, without paying anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course takes place in a small classroom environment. Applicants will solve a handful of JavaScript problems together, digging into a variety of general problem-solving strategies and patterns. By the end of the course, students will be much more adept at problem-solving, and ready to pass the technical interview and go for the full-time bootcamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
