Participants learn by doing; they build web based applications to solve client challenges - with coding, business, and leadership instruction provided along the way. They also gain the professional network needed to jumpstart their careers. i.c.stars graduates become technologists who earn living wages (300% more than before) working as application developers or business analysts.
