TL;DR

• The Base Bootcamp​ is an eight-week program run by Coinbase, designed to help experienced developers become ​smart contract​ developers.

• Our favorite part? They'll be learning by doing.

• Converting 20 new Web3 engineers at a time via Base Bootcamp ain't much, but it's a start!

Full Story

At some point over the next couple weeks, people will start asking each other:

"What are your Thanksgiving plans?"

For 20 select software engineers from around the world, the answer will be something along the lines of:

"Eatin' turkey and preparing for the ​Base Bootcamp​."

The Base Bootcamp​ is an eight-week program run by Coinbase, designed to help experienced developers become ​smart contract​ developers.

The cohort of students that get accepted into the program will get:

1. A mentor for guidance

2. A direct line of contact to Coinbase/Base engineers

3. An invite to a private Discord server with other students

Our favorite part?

They'll be learning by doing.

Over the eight week course, each engineer will develop a ​Web3​ app, and (hopefully) have a minimum viable product ready by the end of it all.

Here's why all of this is important:

Software developers out number Web3 engineers by a magnitude of a thousand!

That's 30M vs. 30k.

If Web3 is going to continue to grow and proliferate, we're gonna need more engineers!

Converting 20 at a time via Base Bootcamp ain't much, but it's a start!
