Onboarding Camp Graduation Project
Onboarding camp graduation project is the final step for interns to demonstrate the knowledge and concepts they have learned during the onboarding camp. For this project, interns will be required to design or develop a concept iOS app from start to finish in 7-10 days.
Interns will have the support of their mentors and fellow interns throughout the process, and will have the opportunity to collaborate and learn from one another as they work towards completing the project.
Upon completion, interns will have gained a solid understanding of the iOS app development or design process and will be well-prepared to move on to the next phase of the internship program.
1-1 Mentorship Program
Our 1-1 Mentorship Program is an integral part of the Neon Academy experience. This program pairs each intern with a seasoned developer or designer who serves as their personal mentor throughout the duration of the internship.
Through weekly one-on-one sessions, participants have the opportunity to ask questions, seek advice, and receive valuable mentorship from experienced professionals. In addition, mentors also offer support and guidance outside of these sessions, helping participants stay on track and achieve their goals.
Daily Code & Design Reviews
In Neon Academy, interns are required to participate in Daily Code or Design Reviews as part of their development and learning process. These reviews are designed to help interns improve their code or design skills, and provide a platform for constructive feedback and guidance from mentors and instructors.
During these reviews, interns are asked to present their work and receive feedback from their mentors and peers. This feedback helps them identify areas of improvement and allows them to learn from the experiences of others. In addition, the Daily Code & Design Reviews provide a forum for interns to ask questions, seek guidance, and learn from the best practices of experienced developers and designers.
Academy Conferences
Weekly Academy Conferences are led by seasoned developers and designers who are experts in their field, and are designed to educate interns on the latest trends and techniques in mobile app development and design. During these conferences, interns have the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the world of app development and design.
These hands-on experiences allow interns to apply their newfound knowledge and skills in a practical setting, gaining valuable experience that will help them succeed in their careers.
Weekly Hometasks
In the Neon Academy, mentors assign "Weekly Hometasks" to interns as part of their learning and development process. These tasks are designed to help interns hone their skills and knowledge in a specific area of development or design, and are not related to company projects. Through these tasks, interns have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a practical setting and receive feedback from mentors.
The Weekly Hometasks also provide an opportunity for interns to learn new concepts and techniques. They allow interns to explore new areas of development or design and expand their knowledge base. These tasks challenge interns and help them grow as professionals, preparing them for success in the field of mobile app development and design.
Academy Awards
The Academy Awards recognize the outstanding achievements and contributions of interns during the academy, and are designed to encourage and motivate them to excel in their development and design skills. There are several categories of Academy Awards, including "Cleanest Code," "Best Design," and "Fastest Man Alive"
These awards are presented to interns who have demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in their work.
The Academy Awards provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation for interns to continue striving for excellence in their careers. They serve as a way for interns to receive recognition and validation for their hard work, and help them to feel valued and appreciated for their contributions to the development and design process.
Academy Hackathons
The Academy Hackathons are held on weekends, from 7 PM Friday to 7 PM Sunday, and provide a platform for interns to showcase their skills and creativity in mobile app development and design.
During the hackathons, interns form teams of one designer and two developers. They work together to come up with an idea, create a design, and build a complete mobile application within a short time frame. The hackathons provide a fast-paced and intense learning experience, helping interns develop their skills and knowledge in a practical setting.
After the hackathons, interns present their projects to a panel of judges, and the best project is awarded a prize. The Academy Hackathons provide a unique opportunity for interns to work on real-life projects and challenges and receive recognition for their achievements.
