Our first incubator onboarding-summer school launch was a great success
But, don't take our word for it. Here are our first testimonials from our students
The theoretical part was filled with a wealth of useful information, specifically on how to correctly create software products, the stages of development, and team collaboration - from discussions with clients to the final stages of the project...
The practical part tested our skills… This was an experience that is not easily found, and especially not for free. I can and want to recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn not only theory but also gain experience in real software development. You will be taught by specialists recognized in America - experts in their fields.

Everything was well-organized, and the information provided was both interesting and useful.
We worked productively in teams, which enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms behind creating an IT product.
The combination of theoretical and practical components was especially beneficial, allowing us to apply what we learned in real-time. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that deepened my knowledge and skills in the field.
