This course features 12 weeks of intense, project-focused Android training inspired by our professional developer boot camps and facilitated by CodePath-trained Teaching Assistants.

-During the first half of the course, you will build your skills through labs and projects using the APIs of popular apps like Tumblr, Yelp and Twitter.

-You then apply what you’ve learned in the second half of the course, working together in small teams to build a completely original app from the ground up.

-The culmination of the course is a Demo Day event at which you present your finished products to an audience of peers, faculty and industry professionals.
