Imagine a world full of tech-savvy individuals who approach the challenges of our time with a digital and entrepreneurial mindset. To achieve this, TechLabs Rotterdam offers a free blended learning platform combining Online Learning, Project Work, and TechLabs Community Events to improve your coding skills! Learning is more effective (and fun) in a community of likeminded and ambitious people. Let’s learn together and gain access to a network of experienced mentors from universities, start-ups and corporations.
Our 5-month Digital Shaper program is composed of two phases: the Online Learning Journey where you build up your theoretical knowledge and the subsequent Project Work Journey where you apply your theoretical knowledge to own or given projects with a team. Take part in community events, make new friends, and learn from unique workshops and hackathons sponsored by our partners. After completion, receive a Digital Shaper Certificate and become a part of the TechLabs Alumni Network. No previous level of knowledge is needed to enrol. All that matters is motivation to learn! Are you excited about tech and want to learn how to apply coding to solve the problems of today? Join our Digital Shaper Program!
