Discover the learning science behind how you develop real skills for the workplace and that help to future-proof yourself via project based learning.
Project-based learning is an approach to how a person learns that involves providing projects or problems that need to be solved, built, or created. Learners use the problem as a launching point for researching new concepts, using trial and error, building solutions and learning as they build, evaluating the options available, making decisions about which solution to pursue, and more.21st-century skills are skills and abilities that have been identified as important for success in the 21st-century, particularly compared to previous centuries.
Problem solving and critical thinking
Creativity and innovation
Good communication
Collaboration and teamwork
Being flexible
Ability to solve complex problems
The Project-based
Learning Spectrum
Many other tech learning providers claim to do project-based learning, however, just because their learners do one or two projects, it does not mean that they are really doing project-based learning.
Above shows a spectrum of project-based learning: any form of knowledge transmission by a single source of truth (e.g. instructor or professor) takes away from the need to research, analyze, or evaluate, meaning learners don’t build critical thinking or problem-solving skills.
If you aren’t solving problems but are asking for answers from an instructor, then you are hindered in developing problem-solving skills and learning how to be resourceful.
One of the most important things you need to learn to future-proof yourself is how to learn: unless you’re doing real project-based learning, you will depend on someone else to provide answers for you.
Project Progression and Difficulty
We spend a lot of time analyzing the complexity, difficulty, and cognitive challenge of each project.
This ties deeply to learning science and our experience in learning design.The vast majority of other providers do not understand or apply project-based learning science or cognitive development science to their curricula. At Qwasar, it is the very core of what we do and where we have years of experience.

Outstanding
Learning Community!
Joining Qwasar is about joining a learning community. Learning on your own is hard, watching online videos can be boring, and sharing your learning journey (and certainly lots of jokes) with others is important.
Our platform and Discord chat, as well as our program meetings, are all about building and participating in the community.
When you join our programs, you have access to:

Career Progression and Support
For intensive bootcamp learners, we provide career preparation and support. Qwasar has created a career support track and community called Technical Interview Preparation Program (TIPP), which students join in Season 2. This includes:
Admissions requires an application, an interview, and completion of the enrollment form with payment.
The Self-Learning Upskill option does not require an application or interview.
Silicon Valley Standards
We train to standards set by Silicon Valley for full stack developers. This means the level is much higher than that of bootcamps, and higher than that of CS or data science degrees. Your specialty is being an elite developer at a world-renown level.
Technical Skills & Knowledge
Thanks to the depth and breadth of our program curriculum, you acquire a level of technical skills and knowledge that learners in other programs or bootcamps simply never acquire.
Strong Python Skills
The vast majority of bootcamps don’t cover data structures or algorithms. CS degrees don’t cover hands-on application of theory or actually developing software architecture. We cover both and your strong back-end skills and experience with databases, data structures, and algorithms will set you apart from other candidates.
Depth of Portfolio
Learners develop a technical portfolio that has depth and shows the extent of their technical skills and ability to handle databases, deployments, and development. Neither bootcamps nor CS degrees offer this.
