IMPACTFUL

Important things you should expect

  • You should expect to struggle
  • You should expect to feel dumber than others
  • You should expect to feel overwhelmed
  • You should expect to work harder than you ever have before

We have 12 weeks to turn you into an iOS developer.

Dealing with adversity

  • Give up
  • Get depressed
  • Blame others
  • Work hard, stay positive

Students who work the hardest and stay positive often surpass their "more experienced" peers.
