Higher Education Fundraiser
Donation protected
I want to take an aggressive 3 month Front-End Engineering program mid year (2015). It's a very demanding and intense program which would make it impossible to keep my current job. And then by some miraculous way - be able to support myself without actually having said job (or any job for that matter) nor the savings to do so, plus paying tuition. It's a life altering change which I can no longer put aside. It's never the right time - so the time is NOW.
With the increase cost of education, we must take to other means of funding for higher education. Any and all contributions make a difference!!
Thank you for reading, supporting, giving me a bit of hope at a time.
This is what your donations will help accomplish:
1. School tuition: $12,000 (for the 3 months)
2. Hardware Required - minimum specifications :
Manufacturer: Apple
Type: Laptop
Operating system: At least OS X Mavericks
RAM: At least 4 GB+
Processor: At least 1.4 Ghz
HD space: At least 128 GB+
(Pricing range: $1099 - $1600)
3. (4-6 months)Room, Board, and Jump Starting new career: $8000
The Academy: THE IRON YARD
The Iron Yard exists to create exceptional value for people and their ideas through code education, startup accelerators and coworking spaces.
Through our broad, deep and growing network of teachers, programmers, designers, entrepreneurs, investors, employers and coworking spaces, we have developed a thriving community where serendipity happens en masse.
We are people-centric.
We put our students, teams, investors and supporters first in all of our decision making. Our success is entirely dependent on their success.
Our challenge is immense.
The world has huge problems that need to be solved, many of which technology is perfectly suited to address. Companies around the globe are answering this call, but anyone with boots on the ground can feel the acute shortage of talent needed to rise to the occasion. That gap is widening right now, and over the next decade the shortfall will affect industries, economies, businesses and individuals as they fight to add value in a digital world.
The Iron Yard is a solution at that juncture of supply, demand, business and a broken education system.
