 Okay, I have a scary question to ask. So how many of you after listening this still are keen to apply for the bootcamp? Okay, thank God. Okay, so now I'm going to quickly bring you through what is the application process for the third bootcamp, techniques bootcamp. So it's a pretty easy, not really easy but simple, it's a two-step process where first, you have to feel application form, second, you have to complete a technical task. So how we are selecting people, we want to support people who are women who we can really help to enter the industry. So ideally, you should have already tried some form of programming. If not, we will also guide you through basic programming skills to fulfill your technical task. So these are the important dates. So, oh, I need my laser. Okay, so right now the application is already open on our website. I will show you how it works. So for people who wants to apply or are keen to apply, just fill out the application form, part of the application form for now, out of which those people who have applied, we will send out information to a series of three pre-bootcamp workshops. Why are we doing this? Because there is a technical task, but of course we don't want to just leave you to suffer on your own. We're going to give you basic programming skills. Through the three workshops in order to help you fulfill your technical task. So having said that, what we noticed last batch was that a lot of, there are some people who don't want to join the bootcamp, but they still want to attend the workshop just for fun. And there are some people who wants to join the bootcamp, but can't get to the workshops because of that. Which is why this time round, fill out the first part of the application form first. From then we will let those women who have applied to attend the pre-bootcamp workshops where we'll talk about, give you the skills, basic programming skills. So this Friday we also released a technical task. Last batch we had a task was to create a simple application. What we realized that is, it sounds very simple but it's very vague. A lot of people struggle with what is the definition of done. They just keep doing, doing, doing, doing, and didn't realize that it's actually completed, like it's good enough. So we're trying to refine more about what's the definition of done. But another thing we realized is that a lot of people end up stumbling upon the same tutorial online. So they created the same exact looking apps just in different shades of colors. So that wasn't really helpful in helping us identify who are the ones that could really benefit from the bootcamp. So which is why these are the two buckets that we need to refine what the technical task is about. So we'll take a little bit more time on that. So to also help you with the technical task, we'll be running two, one or two code clinic sessions where you can just come, basically it's like a clinic consultation style. You just come in, work on your app. If there's any questions, they'll be roaming mentors to help you out. And then we will be doing interview and also the selection process before starting the actual bootcamp. And then we also have a grad party. So a grad party is something like a demo day. It's really helpful for getting the attention of a potential employee, yes. So usually during the grad party, I try to invite people who might be interested in getting interns or people who might be interested in featuring female programmers. So these are the people in the audience. So those things are a bit as a platform for you to really showcase and market yourself. So I will quickly show you, so to apply for the Tech Ladies Bootcamp, go to this URL. I will also link it in the email that I'll send after the event. So on this page, you can find the button. It's pretty huge. Find the button, click on it. They'll bring you to a form where you can fuel up, basically read about it. Make sure you fill out five days before the workshop that you wanna attend. Then there's a really long form about who you are, what are your motivations, how can we help? How would you like to be helped? So these are pretty straightforward. Okay, it's ending soon, I promise. So I think the last batch, they take about 15 to 20 minutes to fill up everything. So now you see, this is a section two. You don't have to fill it out now only by third of July because it talks about your technical task, which is why I flew by it pretty quickly. And then remember to submit. So once you click on the submit button, the app will now send you an email with this thing called a submission code. So using this code, you can come back to edit your application form. So you don't have to create from scratch. And if you wanna change your answer, you can work on whatever you have submitted. So it should be pretty straightforward if there's anything that you have trouble with, you can always find me on my email or just ping us on our Facebook page or join our Facebook group. Kinda everywhere. Okay, so this is basically how we apply who is involved in the next bootcamp and so what you can expect to build. So now we're gonna open up in five minutes for Q&A. So anyone is interested to have any question to ask? Anyone? Oh, okay, go for it. I had a question about the application process. There's so few places for the actual bootcamp. How far can we actually participate in the sense of just one new process that we'll be able to do the next bootcamp at least in the next one? Yeah, that's a good question. So if you fill out this application form, you will at least get a chance to attend the pre-bootcamp workshops. Thereafter, it's still a good experience to try your hands on creating an application. And if you don't select that, you still have something to show up in your portfolio. We will keep you in our database for sure. And we can also ping you for the next time round. Any other questions? Do you have incremental stage or at which point do we actually start building it? Most of you are going to be incremental. Yeah, you're going to be incremental. So there are some knowledge like how to use Git is going to apply for both teams. So we'll do it like a workshop style, one hour lecture, we'll teach you how to use Git. And thereafter, it's pretty much broken down to a team level, like who is stronger at what, who wants to do what, then it's built on top of that. Yes? What is your selection criteria and why there are only six people going to be selected? Does it mean much the last batch there are 20 plus? Oh, so last batch, we actually selected 15 women. So there was five projects and it killed me. So it was just a lot on the administrative side of things and also the marketing side of things because we try to not just give you the technical skills, but also sort of like position you in terms of personal branding side. So 15 was too much. I wasn't able to get a team to support that kind of growth. So this time I would rather go back to basics, do something smaller, but do it better. So I would rather focus more energy on less people, but do it better and really help them succeed. In terms of the selection criteria, it's always still a work in progress because how do you know if someone, how can you predict if this woman can successfully enter the tech industry? It's still a work in progress to be very honest. A lot of times it depends on the kind of app that you submit for your technical task because like I said, if it's something that you follow to a tee or something that you found online, does it mean that you, it's not showing that you really want it? You know what I mean? So that is, but having said that, totally agrees, it's extremely subjective. There isn't like a hard science to how do you select? Yeah. I think that's all. Any people who probably want to do a little bit more people like to secure a contract with you? Definitely, we coined it as near zero. So if this is like the first time you touch a terminal, it's probably, you're probably too early for it, for this batch. Maybe you want to come back for the next batch. So if people like to go into like zero experience, but we want to actually go into the tech industry, like what can we do? Start now. So there are a lot of free, there are a lot of free online resources. Every Wednesday we have a study group. We're learning computer science. So it's quite painful, but you do learn a lot in terms of the basic foundation work. Also like Clara mentioned, there Michael Hartle book that has a pretty good book for you to get started. So the point I'm trying to get is that there's a lot of free resources. So just pick one and go with it. Join our Facebook group. If there's any question you don't understand, post the question there and I will usually tag those guys in to answer it for you. I don't know one more question. So it's $500 for the fee. Yeah. Are you guys partners with Justine's Fusion? No, because we're not a legal entity. And doing that takes a lot more of work. So I was like, oh, do I really want to do that? I'd rather focus more on marketing and individual. Oh, but if anyone wants to volunteer, they help me get that fixed up. I'm like, happy to have you. Okay, any other questions? This is slightly underrated, but I realize you're talking about your Wednesday program. Yeah. Are they already unpacked or are they like on the phone for the session and so it's too late to join? Oh, so initially we tried to pace everybody together and why I realized that we all are very slow. So right now it's more free for all. As long as you're taking this course, just come. It's kind of... So it doesn't matter where you are. It doesn't matter. You're the first one on the fifth one. Yeah, yeah. We have people from like zero to... I think the furthest maybe is on week four or week five. Yeah. You told me that... You told us that people who have a CS degree although like in this bootcamp, what did they say about like how this might add to the CS degree or how kind of different it is from them? I wonder if you teach them in addition to working with them when it's on week three? Right. So in terms of the bootcamp, so far Avina is the only one with a CS, former CS education background. The rest of the women all do not have. Yeah. Does she have anything to say about like kind of what's like the addition thing that kind of teach her? Oh, I try. I don't know. I'm going to ask her. Yeah, I would love to know. Okay. Is there something like that? Yeah, okay, go for it. Really good question. Because you said the length of the whole process is like increasing, right? So from like eight weeks to four weeks. And from... Jenny probably said earlier that the boots were also on the same size so like three to four on each team. Were the projects that were deployed not so many or was it now the products are getting more complex? So the products has been always been about similar standard. So in the first batch, it was eight weeks. What we realized that, yeah, the teams have some problems in finishing in delivery. So they have to, they volunteered to stay back to finish it on their own time. Second batch, so that's why we extended it by two more weeks. Second batch, it was 10 weeks. What we learned is that 10 weeks straight was very tiring. So now it's a 12 weeks. There's actually two breaks in between where there's two Saturdays. There will be no in-person sessions so you can catch your breath and really internalize what we have learned. Yes, you get to choose either one or you can choose any. So in the past, some of the candidates choose by the cost they feel passionate about. Some candidates actually choose the coach they want to follow. So it depends. Any person with any visa status or is it specific to Singaporeans and VRs? Or, I mean, if I am on a dependent pass, is it okay for me to still apply for it? Or if we already know that dependent pass will not be in the day-to-day life? Yeah. No use of applying. Yeah, that's kind of like the advantage of us not being a legal entity so we don't care. As long as you can legally be here during the duration, it's fine. We'll take you. Any other... Okay, if not, if there's any other question, you can always come and talk to me. I'll be hanging out here. And yeah, that is all we have for today. Thank you so much for coming. And hope you had a good evening. So we'll still have this space for about, like, until 9.30. I'm not sure what time is it now. Until 10. Oh, 9.00 was nice.
