SUMMARY:FREE: Ironhack Miami Hackshow!!
DESCRIPTION:Ironhack is getting ready to graduate another two groups of students who decided to take the non-traditional approach to learning. They now have the tools and confidence to enter the global technology marketplace.\nThe Hackshow exhibits the fully functioning web apps that our coding students learned to build on their own (some with zero prior coding experience!)\, and the high fidelity prototypes of our UX/UI Design students! Just a hundred cups of coffee and a whole lot of hard work later\, they’ve successfully evolved into Jr. Web Developers and Jr. UX/UI Designers.\nEach Ironhack student will have 60 seconds to pitch their project to the audience (that’s you) who will vote for the top 2 presentations from each of the courses\, from which our panel of esteemed judges will pick a winner.
