The Tech Elevator Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before anything else, let\u2019s talk more about Tech Elevator\u2019s curriculum, and why expert instruction is so important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Java is used across the industry, from building apps for Android to programming Internet of Things devices. With so many industrial applications, this language has developed many best practices that you\u2019ll need to know to seamlessly start your career. By integrating this language with web development skills, you\u2019ll be able to develop applications that can live online or on the desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C# is a similarly versatile language, with some overlap with Java. It\u2019s used for desktop software while also being the language of choice for Unity, which is used by game developers and VR creators alike. This is another long-tenured language with its own culture and community of programmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter which language you choose, you\u2019ll receive the same quality instruction from Tech Elevator\u2019s staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to Know Tech Elevator\u2019s Coding Experts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tech Elevator\u2019s instructors have an average of 20 years of working experience in the industry. They provide insight into the best practices that students need to know, in a way that helps them adapt to the rigors of their new career. Here are just a few of the instructors you can learn from during your time at Tech Elevator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Green<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tech Elevator instructor Margaret Green<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Green went to college in the 1980s and discovered her love for coding as she was preparing to graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was too late for me, I didn’t have the money to stay in and get a CS degree,\u201d Margaret said. \u201cSo I graduated and went from job to job for a while. I was working in accounting at a small company and the VP was really into programming. He started working with me and I realized how much I loved coding. I left that job and landed a role as a developer doing hospital pharmacy software.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret worked as a developer for seven years before transitioning to college instruction. She stayed in that role for almost 20 years, teaching computer science to students at a university level. She loved the experience of teaching students, and so she brought that experience and technical expertise to Tech Elevator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since starting her job at Tech Elevator, she\u2019s appreciated the opportunity to teach students that are passionate about starting new careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love working with the students,\u201d Margaret said. \u201cA major difference between college students and Tech Elevator students is that the Tech Elevator students want to learn. They are here because they really want to change their lives and they love coding as much as I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tip from Margaret:<\/strong> Though these students are excited about getting started, Margaret wants new programmers to get used to the concept of speed bumps and hiccups as they get into the field. \u201cMy advice is you have to be willing to fail,\u201d Margaret said. \u201cIf you are too afraid to try, you will never succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myron Law<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tech Elevator instructor Myron Law<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Myron Law has been working as a software developer for 23 years. He started at a brokerage firm when he decided to add some software development skills to save some time. \u201cThe lightbulb moment that led to my career change was when I realized I could automate trade entries using a macro,\u201d Myron said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myron\u2019s switch from finance to tech echoes the career-changing background that many Tech Elevator students bring to the program. As someone who has been in students\u2019 shoes, he can empathize with their anxieties about learning something new and their excitement at every small victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite part of teaching at Tech Elevator is helping students make the life-changing transition to a career in software development,\u201d Myron said. \u201cI love being a part of something that has such a positive impact on people’s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myron was working as the Vice President of Software Development at Police and Fire Federal Credit Union before he decided to join Tech Elevator. He was drawn to the school by its mission to elevate people and communities, with initiatives like the Represent Tech Scholarship<\/a> for underrepresented demographics in tech, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tip from Myron:<\/strong> As an instructor, Myron hopes that anyone who wants to pursue software development should stick with it, even when the process gets difficult. \u201cCommit to making the change,\u201d Myron said. \u201cWhen you face difficult challenges during your transition to software development, stay focused, reject doubt and push through. You are worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katie Dwyer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tech Elevator instructor Katie Dwyer<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Katie Dwyer started her journey into coding as a math major at Northern Kentucky University. She had done some Pascal coding in high school, but the Java courses during her required computer science course piqued her interest much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmusingly enough, I thought that the computer science path had more career paths than math,\u201d Katie said. \u201cThe NSA or teaching were the only options my 18-year-old brain could fathom, so I decided to switch to computer science.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She graduated in 2002, and she\u2019s been working in the industry ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve worn a wide variety of hats,\u201d Katie said. I\u2019ve done builds and fixed bugs as a support engineer, went from dev to a senior dev and then a consultant, and then learned how to use dev tools in an Agile environment to work as an Agile consultant. I\u2019ve also worked as a team lead and a manager.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With experience on almost every level of the industry, Katie shows students the different use cases that they\u2019re likely to encounter on their career journey. She also gives students an idea of what\u2019s possible with hard work and dedication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As her career progressed, Katie decided to give back to her alma mater, working as an adjunct at NKU for the past 10 years. She enjoyed teaching and mentoring but didn\u2019t want to earn a Ph.D. to become a full-time professor. That\u2019s when she heard about Tech Elevator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was super skeptical of the bootcamp model at first,\u201d Katie said. \u201cTalking to current instructors and looking at the CIRR results really won me over. And now I love the level of interaction that I get with the students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get to know them more than just the couple hours a week I’m spouting information at them. I get to know them as people, which makes their success even more meaningful. I like to meet up with alumni and see how they’re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she\u2019s spent more time teaching and less time in the industry, Katie has started to feel like she\u2019s found a more meaningful calling by working with prospective software developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cSometimes in the corporate world I would feel like what I was doing didn’t really matter,\u201d Katie said. \u201cObviously, it mattered for my paycheck and the company, but in the grand scheme of the world, I was only moving money around and not making a difference. At Tech Elevator, I feel like I’m making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She gets to see that difference often, and she enjoys seeing the concepts click in students\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe daily exercises are fairly small, specific, and directed, versus at the end of each module we have a capstone that provides less framework and students have to really see how what they’ve learned applies to a real-world application,\u201d Katie said. \u201cI love during the code reviews for the mini-capstones when students tell me that the capstone assignment really pulled things together for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katie enjoys working at Tech Elevator because, after decades in the industry, she still gets to learn new things every day. She believes that new software developers should embrace the learning process as a lifelong companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tip from Katie:<\/strong> \u201cBe comfortable with learning new things, not knowing and asking questions,\u201d Katie said. \u201cThere’s just so much tech out there. There’s not going to be a job out there that’s exactly what you know and you won’t have to learn anything new. I have 20 years of experience, and I still learn new things even about the tech I already know! If you have a question, ask!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Eland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A
Tech Elevator Instructor Matt Eland<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Matt Eland\u2019s father was an actuary who brought home an early IBM PC when he was just a young child. The possibilities of computers were apparent when Matt was young, and he quickly became obsessed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw [my father] playing early computer games on that machine and it captivated my imagination,\u201d Matt said. \u201cI started programming for fun at 7 and taught myself bits and pieces over the following decade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coding from an early age had its benefits, as Matt\u2019s early start in the field allowed him to advance quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy high school, I was a fairly practiced programmer, though I formalized it with a bachelor\u2019s degree through a traditional university to get that first job,\u201d Matt said. \u201cIn retrospect, a bootcamp might have been a good fit for me if those existed back then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt had to teach himself a lot of the coding knowledge he acquired over the years. Though this has always been an option, it was especially difficult over 30 years ago. But he persevered and started getting paid to code before he even graduated college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe earliest I was paid to write code was in the early 2000s as a student programmer for the University of Wisconsin system,\u201d Matt said. \u201cI was working with C# and .NET while they were in beta.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt\u2019s been following C# and .NET ever since they were industry upstarts. This familiarity makes it possible for Matt to know exactly how and why certain features were implemented. He\u2019s happy to pass on his knowledge to students at Tech Elevator. But before he found his second career calling, he was working as a senior developer at a tech startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had the privilege of working with a pair of junior developers we hired from one of the earliest Tech Elevator classes in Columbus,\u201d Matt said. \u201cI was struck by their curiosity, work ethic, desire to learn, and ability to work well on a team. I also discovered I loved mentoring them and helping them learn more about software development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chance meeting with these two junior developers helped him to realize his passion for education and sharing his knowledge with the next generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince then, I started speaking more in the community to develop teaching skills and exploring the possibility of teaching professionally down the road,\u201d Matt said. \u201cYears later, I now get paid to invest everything I can into our students and I love every minute of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt invests more than just his experience into his students. He gets an emotional boost from seeing students develop under his tutelage, and that keeps him going after decades in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love hearing that students got hired somewhere,\u201d Matt said. \u201cI’ve been known to cry\u2014even in a remote environment. I really enjoy getting to know the incredible people who come into our program, but I think my favorite part is the last day of the cohort where students demonstrate their final capstone projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get to see people who didn’t think they could do this on week 2 come up with beautiful and functional web applications on week 14 that impress me as a seasoned professional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt believes that software development can be an amazing field for the right people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tip from Matt:<\/strong> \u201cI didn’t think I could have found a more fulfilling career for myself until I discovered teaching,\u201d Matt said. \u201cIf tech is a good fit for you, it can be an incredible journey. You’ll feel overwhelmed many times with the sheer breadth of software development, but once you get over that initial learning curve you’ll be able to create entire products just from your own determination, imagination, and skill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn from Experts with Decades of Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is just a small sampling of the expert faculty at Tech Elevator. You might not end up working with these instructors. But no matter which cohort you join, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to learn from passionate professionals just like Margaret, Myron, Katie, and Matt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested in the program, you can reach out to Tech Elevator<\/a> for more information. After all, Matt believes that curiosity is one of the best assets a student and software developer can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you like learning, making things, or improving things, it might be a good fit for you,\u201d Matt said. \u201cIf you’re curious, you probably owe it to yourself to take our aptitude test and find out. If you’re still uncertain, talk to us and we’ll help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
