Full-Stack Circle
What is the course about?
Join the Full Stack Circle to build hands-on, teamwork-style JavaScript-based projects. Do you already have solid HTML, CSS, Javascript, and React skills and want to work on realistic full stack projects in a team? Then this course is for you! Enhance your skills toward a career in Software Development, such as a front end-, back end-, or full stack software developer.
Our “circles” at ReDI are designed to be a designated space for practical work to learn, build, and apply knowledge gained from previous courses or experiences. Circles are NOT intended to be a lecture-style environment or a place for passive learning. Rather, each learner is expected to code and work hands-on each week on the project and gain teamwork experience. Are you ready to work on a team project? Then, apply for the Full Stack Circle!

Learn how realistic full stack projects are developed in teams. The topic will focus primarily on JavaScript frontend with React; however, depending on the level and skill of some of the teams, additional technologies could be involved (see list of hard skills below).
Work in a team of colleagues and guides - complete complex projects through collaboration.
Projects
The course will run in a project-based learning format. Students will progress through structured projects to master complex web development.
Agile: We use agile/scrum sprints and retros
Previous Projects:

How you will learn
Sessions: Two sessions a week. It is essential that you attend both online sessions. 80% of attendance is required for graduation.
Guides - No teachers: You will work hands-on with our guides, who are industry experts volunteering to support you.
Teams - The Full Stack Circle will be split into smaller teams. Each team gets a project topic to work on for the full semester. Every group will provide regular updates with all the other teams to create an environment of shared learning.
Active Work: Note this is NOT a passive, lecture-style environment. Each learner is expected to be self-driven and motivated to code and work hands-on each week on the project. ReDI to start coding? Then join us!
ReDI Style
This course is about hands-on project work. There are no lectures. We work together on web development projects with your colleagues and a team of volunteers. We ask you to take over parts of a project and actively work on them. Are you ready to work hands-on and independently? Then join us!
Course Timeline
Weeks 1 & 2: Tools configuration, development environment setup, project management process overview
Weeks 3 - 14: Split into 2-week sprints. Each sprint contains a focus topic according to the project type that needs to be completed. Milestones will break down the project into smaller deliverables. Expect weekly homework (project work) during this period.
Demo Day: At the end of the semester, each team will present their projects to the audience of ReDI course community members.
