Full time web development

Expect the unexpected. When I first entered Ironhack I thought "yeah I like web development this will be a piece of cake" but little did I know they take the word bootcamp a little bit litterally. Ironhack is an intense full-blown experience. You learn technical skills like Javascript, React.js, Node.js, Express, MongoDB but you also learn how to work and develop in a team, present a project, and networking. At the end of the day I look at my portfolio and say to myself: "It was worth it"

Great for quick learners
As someone who does best under a quick learning regiment, I think this bootcamp was fantastic and not only did I learn the newest programing technologies but I had a blast doing it!

This school prepares you for the outside world to change modern technology to its highest potential. Ironhack is a school that preps you well enough to be able to learn any coding language. (Niko my instructor is a GOAT)
I was very satisfied with the Ironhack staff. Everyone is great, supportive and overall caring for each student.
The classroom environment is amazing! I met so many great people that I am still great friends with till this day. Everyone became like a family.
I highly recommend career service. Shoot! I got hired from that event, it is an easy way to get a job that pays well. One of the great opportunies you get from career service is this cool dude named Brito AKA The Plug. He preps you on how to land a great job, he teaches you how to speak and reach out to companies and make yourself known. I applied many of his tactics and it helped me improve and build a reputation for myself in another city.
Overall this school is great. Its not too expensive and it way more worth it than getting in debt for some other expensive school that might not even be worth it. If I could take this course again, I would, BUT unfortunately I am employed.

If you want to change your career- GO to Ironhack! If you want to get into the tech world- GO to Ironhack! If you are worried about not having a degree, but still want to lend a good tech job- GO to Ironhack! And simply if you are ready to work hard and push yourself to the limits- you know- GO TO IRONHACK!
This was one of the kind experience. Instructors (David and Niko) are very knowledgable and helpful, always ready go the extra mile if needed. Brito - placement guru will give you best advice on how to get that first (and the most important) job. Don't worry if you have NO tech related EXPERIENCE, the curriculum is flexible and tailored to market needs. You will have a good base to go into the "real world" with. It was hard, and challenging but so worth it! I am happy that I have made this decision:)

Motivating, encouraging and challenging environment. Everyone can grow and push its own boundaries at it space while being given a meaningful path to follow, with the right tool set in hands and a strong support to do so. The program is built in a smart way for us to focus and questions on the right things. What a smart and complementary teaching team and staff. On top of that, everything is done in a way to feel home, and meet other students and Ironhack team members.

This was my first time at a bootcamp and I can tell you, is very hard but it's an amazing journey.
I joined Ironhack with the purpose of grow up in the tech world and become a great developer.
The time is short and we have to learn the best we can to continue this path.
I'm thankfull for the oportunitty to do this course. If I had the chance to go back in time I'd do it again.
Now I have a Ironhack family to life. -

Incredible experience at Ironhack Berlin
Read more Read less of Nele's review
At some point I felt very stuck in my old job. So I decided to try to teach myself how to code in my spare time. Even though it was a lot of fun, I felt like I learned a lot I had the feeling that I was lacking some kind of mentorship. That was when I came across Ironhack Coding Bootcamp.
Ironhack was an amazing experience. It’s incredible how much we learned in those 9 weeks.I basically started with very little previous knowledge about coding and learned enough to be able to change careers. I’m not going to lie, it has been the most challenging 9 weeks of my life. So prepared, it won’t be easy. But if you’re motivated and able to push yourself, you can get a lot out of it. And even though you might be frustrated or stuck, there is always somebody around to help. The staff is amazing and everybody was super nice and patient. It’s an intense experience and you most probably will feel overwhelmed by the mass of information at some point, but also we had a very supportive environment in our class.
If you’re looking for a career change Ironhack is the perfect place to achieve that

This course changed my life!!

I can highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get there skills to the next level. I used to work as a freelancer, doing projects on the same level over and over. The WebDev-Course changed my life and I instantly got my investment in this course back. Within 2 weeks after completing the course, I got a position as a fullstack developer offered, with an above average salary and now I am part of an amazing team. Using my skills gained at Ironhack and at the same time expanding my knowledge in my every day.

The Ironhack journey was one of a kind! The Ironhack team, the teachers, and the teacher assistants provided great support and so much dedication to our success.
I feel like I am now part of a new family. The classmates were very supportive of each other, we exchanged knowledge, good time and good laughs.
I learned the latest technologies and frameworks, as well as web development good practices.
Whether you want to change your career or pursue your web development journey, Ironhack will be your number one ally. -

An incredibly rewarding experience
Read more Read less of Samanta Boero's review
I did the full-time web development bootcamp in Berlin in October and I couldn't be happier.
The curriculum is divided into three modules, each focusing on a different aspect of building a full-stack application. At the end of each module students need to present an app implementing the learnings from that module. Once the bootcamp is over, there is also a hiring week for students to meet companies looking for Jr. developers. Throughout the 9 weeks, there is a lot career development support and relevant talks about working in the tech world.Admittedly the day-to-day can get a bit overwhelming but the Ironhack statff (both teachers and other functions) are super supportive and fun, making it a lot easier to manage. Overall, the human quality of everyone around you makes you enjoy the experience even more and you gain a new family with whom you share something really special.

Victoria Hickam
I have a CS degree, & this was still the best thing I’ve ever done
Read more Read less of Victoria Hickam's review
Unlike many bootcamp grads, I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science in Web Programming and Development, and I also studied Computer Science for three years while in college. However, upon graduating, I felt like I didn't have all of the skills that I need for the real world based on what all of the job descriptions I wanted to apply for said. Because of my computer science and web dev background, I was a little skeptical of if a bootcamp would really be beneficial for me. BUT..... IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE.
Ironhack's curriculum went hand-in-hand with the skills that job descriptions said I needed. I leanred the most relevant skills and technologies, and even more important, I learned how to APPLY these skills and actually built multiple projects on my own from them. This is all due to Ironhack's spot-on curriculum.
My instructor, Niko, was amazing. He was approachable, engaging, and above all, extremely helpful. He knew his shit. Any problem or question we had he could figure out. Niko doesn't just want you to learn the tech skills and the coding, he wants you to enjoy it. Nothing but great things to say about him.
The career advisor, Brito, was also AMAZING. You are Brito's number one priority, and he will work day and night until everyone form your class gets hired after graduation. Brito has, quite literally, hundreds upon hundreds of tech connections in South Florida. If you're in tech, he knows you. Because of this, he has the right connections to help you find that perfect job. Work hard to be top of your class and he'll be sure that when new positions open at companies, they see your name/resume first.
In conclusion, if you're debating enrolling in Ironhack, DO IT. I learned so much and companies were really impressed while interviewing. I'm now an interactive developer at a kickass company.. which I was hired at one week after graduating. I couldn't have asked for a better first job, and I owe it all to Ironhack.
THANK YOU IRONHACK, THANK YOU NIKO, THANK YOU BRITO!!!!!

Changing careers with Ironhack
Read more Read less of Susana Binder's review
In October 2018, I decided to enroll in the full-time UX/UI App Design bootcamp at Ironhack with the goal of making a definite career change.
This decision was so good on so many levels:
The course has been extremely challenging and at the same time extremely rewarding.
I've managed to deepen and broaden my UX and UI know-how.
I've been very lucky with my cohort and have met exceptional human beings.
We've had a load of fun with our teacher Nevan Scott and TA's Elise, JJ and Héctor.
You can read more about it here: https://medium.com/@susanabinder/i-went-to-ironhack-and-all-i-got-was-not-this-lousy-t-shirt-bb7049071af5
Ironhack put a lot of effort and dedication into making us feel at home, get us to learn our stuff, have fun...and finding a job.
Once we finished our course, we had 1 week of career services working on LinkedIn, CV, pitch, cover letters, interviews, .....with Gemma Garriga. Really good work!
And I don't lie if I say that for the 1st time in my life I feel really, like really, prepared for the next professional step I'm about to take!

Claire
Invaluable training UX/UI
Read more Read less of Claire's review
I'm ready to start working as a UX / UI Designer.
Before beginning the Ironhack bootcamp, I knew precious little about UX and UI. I'd done some preliminary research on my own (thank you Coursera free online classes), and had muddled through the pre-work assignments. But I was basically a blank slate. I just wanted to learn, and begin my new career.Ironhack gave me just that. This is an INTENSE program, make no mistake about it. I often arrived early and stayed late (sometimes until 10pm) - I think that made a difference. But the entire ambiance of Ironhack encouraged me to do my absolute best and give my all - so I did. And it really, really paid off.
The bootcamp starts a bit slow, with a couple theory-heavy weeks. However, everything always comes back to hands-on activities, which made it so the information you learned stayed in your head. The three projects we completed during the course of the bootcamp instilled what we'd learned again, and again, and again...
I know there's still a lot to learn but I feel ready, ready in a way I would not have without Ironhack.
A couple tips:- do the prework exercises. Seriously. If what you want is to get the most out of this bootcamp, this plays a HUGE role in hitting the ground running. Start off ahead of the game, not behind.
- don't be afraid of staying late. This is 8 weeks of hard work with a treasure at the end ... or it can be 8 weeks of slacking off and wasting time. It is entirely what you make it.- Speak up in class. If you're confused, ask. You won't find teachers more open to questions and explanations than those at Ironhack.
- Share your experiences with your peers. Everyone has different specialities coming into the program. Use your peers - and welcome their questions as well!
This program is 100% worth every penny. -

If you are looking for a quick and efficient way to learn web development, Ironhack is a perfect place to go to. After only few weeks, you know what JavaScript, Node.js, React.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose and much more. You will learn to work in pairs or group and learn how to code effectively. I already had some knowledge about the taught topics prior to the bootcamp - that helped a lot as the course is really intense - but I still needed to consolidate my skills, acquire new ones and focus full-time on coding. Not only did the bootcamp match those expectations, it also allowed me to land my dream job in little more than a month since graduation and it was a great investment for my future.
The facility was amazing with multiple different areas to work on projects and networking events. The staff was also always friendly and available to you at anytime. You will meet various people around you, made new friends which will turn to colleagues and a great network to top it all off.
I will not deny that it will be hard and intense and even with the career fair after you still have to do your own search as you will work with the company and you need to feel comfortable with them. Do not hesitate to write to them or go for their events/meetups just to get to talk to the current students/alumnis who are always down for it.

Jaime
One of the best experiences in my life
Read more Read less of Jaime's review
I will be honest: joining Ironhack was the best decision in my life. After studying psychology in Madrid, I decided to join this bootcamp in Miami to guide my life towards coding. I just wanted to find a job where I could code 24/7. And, thanks to Ironhack, I found it. It really works! It does not matter your background. Nevertheless, this is not magic. You have to work, A LOT. But that's a good part too!
It is a very complete bootcamp (I did the Full Time Web Development). They teach all the frontend basics (HTML, CSS and JS) and a lot of useful backend tools as well (Node.js, MongoDB, Mongoose...). Also, they focus on React, that is the top 1 technology for frontend developers.
About the staff, they are really amazing! Also the building is very cool; they have free beer (that is always a plus).
And, about my classmates, they were simply amazing. Being in a place for 10 hours a day with other people that share the same passion as me... that is priceless.
So, in summary, Ironhack was one of the best experiences in my life. And, for sure, I would do it 100 times more if I could go back in time. And I can assure you that it works. I am right now writing this review from my office as a Frontend Developer in one of the biggest internet companies in Europe.

Amazing experience at Ironhack Paris !

Thanks to Ironhack, I was able to complete my skills, particularly in User Experience Design. Ui designer, this training also challenged me. A real challenge of 9 weeks surrounded by competent teachers, passionate and determined to lead us to success.
My class was just outstanding, creative with people from different backgrounds with very rich experiences. These 9 weeks were spent in a creative, professional, good mood and daily cares. We are all in touch today!
Ironhack is one of my most fabulous experiences in my professional life. It allowed me to go further in my projects, to gain confidence in myself and to dare! Today I do not hesitate to defend my projects with customers because I fully believe that the method that Ironhack has taught us is the best.

Found a job immediately
Read more Read less of Sagy's review
Ironhack was an excellent experience.
It is very intense - I thought at first they were exaggerating or trying to scare me, but it really was very difficult to keep up with all the materials. Then again I suppose it's necessary if one really wants to become a developer in such a short time.
There were many exercises but no tests - it's not like the academy. The only test is if you can find a job or not, and I'm super happy to say I found a job right away.
Thanks Iroonhack. Proud and happy to be a part of your graduate community. :) -
Lindsay
I started with no programming experience and got the job I wanted
Read more Read less of Lindsay's review
I was super impressed with the quality of this course. In short: very dedicated teachers, tons of support, weekly feedback surveys (where they actually take your feedback into account!), and lots of perks like networking and informational events, free beer, coffee, AWESOME people, etc.
What I came in with:
My background is in Linguistics and Media Design (graphic and web design), and I decided to expand on my web design skills by actually learning how to build websites. I'd had a little experience coding in HTML and CSS before I started the course, but had no programming experience and only a little knowledge of how the internet works. The bootcamp really kicked my butt!! It felt the entire time that I was not keeping up as much as I'd have liked even though I was spending every waking hour learning as much as I could (i.e.: reviewing on the trains to and from the course, staying late to finish exercises, learning on the weekends...). I found that this was a pretty common feeling for a lot of people in the course, so you build great connections and help each other along the way. It was also essential that the teachers were so dedicated and supportive. It was my first introduction to how social coding could and should be.In the end, even though a lot of the content was over my head throughout the course, I found that I'd learned enough to land the software developer job I'd had my eyes on since before the bootcamp. I'll be working in various languages, so showing my newly-gained knowledge of Javascript was enough to prove that I will be able to learn and work in other programming languages as well.
Advice for anyone starting the course (especially if you have no programming experience like me!):
Do yourself a favour and spend as much time as possible with the pre-work! I wish I'd spent more time with the Javascript part, it ended up being harder than I'd expected to wrap my head around the basics and I kind of ran out of time before the course started. I'd recommend even supplementing the pre-work with tutorials so that you really have a good grasp of the basics that are introduced there. There are lots of great tutorials online, free and paid, I learn really well with teamtreehouse.com for example.It's been said a lot already, but it's totally true: work hard, don't give up, trust the process, and stay curious. It's ok to feel dumb, I promise! I did for most of the course and still got the job I wanted. You can totally do it!!

Best decision you can possibly make
I came to Ironhack without any background or much experience and after completing the bootcamp I feel really impressed of how much I learnt. The support you get from your teachers / fellow students is amazing. I would 100% recommend this course to anyone looking to improve there life and skills.

I was just like you, reading reviews just like this
Read more Read less of Khalil Najjar's review
I attended the October - December bootcamp in Berlin, the staff was amazing, installations clean and modern with fast internet, free 🍻, ☕️ and 🍵 everyday. The program is well structured mixing lots of practice and theory. By the end of the bootcamp you will have 3 projects of your own to show your potential employers, which is great.
About me… I am an Industrial Engineer who worked at a “corp” as an executive data analyst (yay so much fun!). Although I’ve always enjoyed taking part in the creation of products people can use, so I was never happy with this job or career path I have chosen.
I was first introduced to coding back in 2015 when I purchased a few online courses, it was then that I learned this is what I wanted to do for a living. After a few months of learning by myself I started applying for jobs only to be rejected by all of them.
After this disappointing experience I stayed in the field I had a “degree” on and let the years pass by… Until my new years resolution from 2017-2018, I remember saying to myself “this is the year that I am changing this career path”. I started doing research on coding programs, masters, certificates, bachelors… everting! Until I was introduced to the bootcamps. Long story short after a few weeks of research, I joined Ironhack mainly because of their program, their reviews and the locations they have presence.
Today, I am preparing for my relocation to Berlin, it took me 2 days after finishing the bootcamp to get a job offer from an amazing company (I met in the hiring week from Ironhack). And I am not the only student who got an offer soon after finishing the bootcamp (some even got offers while in the middle of the program!). So if you are willing to make a career change and get a job in the tech field, Ironhack will support you with everything you need, including the theory, projects, fuel (coffee or beer) and even contacts, the rest? Is on you.
Thanks Ironhack,

UX/UI Design Bootcamp (Part-time)
Read more Read less of Tania Alfonso's review
Nothing is perfect but compared to a UX/UI course I took, I truly enjoyed my experience at Ironhack and the overall structure of the course. Starting off with the pre-work you get a taste of what will happen in the course, and you get to use the programs to be used in the industry, which is something I did not learn at my previous course. Once the course starts, it is split into the UX portion, where you’ll be able to learn the theory, organize your thought process and translate that into your designs. Once done with the UX portion you’ll dive into UI where you’ll learn how beautify your designs and learn some front- end development. Last but not least you’ll get guidance on how to build your portfolio, resume and all that good stuff to start your job hunt journey, along with perfecting your interview skills at the job fair…if you’re lucky enough you might be hired!

Hi! I'm Nashi and I was a graphic designer, 8 years experience. I choose Ironhack for it is great reviews from ex-students I met face to face and companies that were really happy with Ironhackers in their team. The told me "it is impressive how much ironhackers learn in only 2-3months that they can join the company and work professionally from day 1". I also choose Ironhack bc "we don't have students, we have professionals that come here to grow"
Barcelona Ironhack UX/UI design bootcamp it is a highly intense program. It is completely true they teach by "learning by doing", at day one students were starting a real project with real research at the streets talking to people and testing. Not only you learn the processes but also to present them and defend them as you would do for clients. You end up the bootcamp with 3-4 real UX/UI projects and your portfolio ready to start working. Plus a Hiring week where lots of companies interview Ironhackers
Plus, the experience itself it is so valuable, the program it is designed for students to teambuild and become a family and a valuable future networking to give feedback to each other to grow as professionals. You have a lead teacher (Nevan is amazing!!!) plus 3-4 teacher assistants always available to help you out. There is always extra free talks / conferences / workshops... plus presentations among other bootcamps. Ironbeers, Ironpizza, Ironbarbacue...
I would recommend it to anyone!

Decision
Read more Read less of Allison Quinty's review
I took the course at Ironhack because I was looking for a pivot in my career. I have a diverse background in Design and Business. At the time I came across Ironhack I was considering an MBA or a Masters program. I evaluated cost and time commitment of both a Masters Degree or completing a course at Ironhack and the increase in Salary I could expect after completion. The choice became obvious, and I can tell you I made the right choice.
I took the part time UX/UI course at Ironhack for six months. It was a challenge balancing a full time job and the course, but it has opened so many doors for me. The entire team at Ironhack Miami goes above and beyond to make sure ALL the students have a good experience and are benefiting from the course material. After graduation the staff stays connected. Brito especially works with each and every student to give career counseling, catered advice, and recommendations. I got my Bachelors from a SUNY school and they did not offer the commitment to their students that Ironhack does.
Ironhack is one of the best decisions I have made in my career thus far.

I changed my career path by chosing for the Ironhack full-time bootcamp. I first followed business engineer studies at the university, in a traditional Belgian teaching system. Ironhack provided me a much more effective way of learning in an innovative sector. I really enjoyed the bootcamp and felt much more involved than in traditional systems. The teacher (Nevan) was great, and really skilled. Ironhack offers a short time but meaningfull experience. It was also very interesting to share the courses with a small cohort from different backgrounds and experiences.

I'm very happy that I turned to Ironhack when I decided to go on a career change path.
The project focused curriculum is done in a way that when you're done with the bootcamp, you have worked in a lot of different topics which gives you confidence when starting your job search. You really learn by doing here.The teamwork experiences also teach you a lot about the process and about yourself.
Lastly, I really appreciate the human part of it. There's always a good vibe, collaboration and feedback. It's an amazing and intensive experience that you go through with your classmates, and we were always encouraged to collaborate and help each other.

JUST. DO IT.
Not only does it help you grow in the field you are studying to get into, but as a professional and a person. It gives you the tools for a full experience and to push yourself to be your best version.

Ironhack is more than just coding

Once upon a time I saw a message on Kleiderkreisel. Kleiderkreisel wants to support women in tech and there is an opportunity to get a scholarship. To apply was my best decision, I got the full scholarship.
Ironhack is the best place to learn clean coding. I enjoyed every second there. Much practice, interesting tasks and relevant content: that's what you get. But Ironhack is more than just coding. You become part of Iron-family there and get huge network of tech-interested people. We had many tech events and free time activities: you never get bored at Ironhack. Ironhack staff is very friendly, always reacts to feedback and helps wherever they can to make you experience there unforgettable and useful.
Some advices for new ironhackers: use the opportunities of networking, it's very valuable. Don't panic if you feel lost first, it will get better! And of course, you get what you put into it, so come with motivation and passion!

The Ironhack bootcamp transformed me and my classmates into coders ready for the job market in only 9 weeks. Of course it took at lot of intense work, but with the help from the teachers you can learn so much. The best part is that now I know how to learn and I feel I can take on other technologies if a job opportunity demands it. I'm super happy I did the Iroonhack bootcamp to transition my career.

Great Experience!!
Read more Read less of Cesar Lugo's review
With Ironhack I've been given the tools to make a radical career change and in less than 30 days after my graduation, I'm on the verge of securing a job as a Full Stack web developer in a great company.
It is intense, and it demands everything you've got, so be prepared for hard working days and nights.Like everything in life, Ironhack will give you results corresponding to the effort you put in. if you really dedicate yourself and come as previously prepared as possible, you will be able to come out with enough technical and working methodologies to land a job in the sector. Yes, everything they teach is available online, but what I learned here in 9 weeks would have easily taken me more than 1 year by myself, and probably would have left important chunks of information out.
The campus is great, the people are very accommodating and dedicated to helping you reach your goals. The hiring support is awesome, they not only teach you to code, but they teach you about the industry, negotiation skills, LinkedIn profiles, CV, interviews and you get to meet a lot of companies looking for developers in the hiring week.
If you are interested in pursuing a career change and if you are truly passionate about learning and programming, I would advise you a 100% to do this bootcamp.
And come prepared to learn some high-level ping pong !!

Ironhack UX/UI Design Boot camp
I was looking for a new stage in my career. Ironhack gave me the tools, the perspective, the knowledde and the support needed to enter a completly new field. And hopefully, I will be starting a new path, where I have a lot of experience on one side, and the sufficient knowledge and support to be able to contribute in one of the most promising carreers in the following years.

I was a solid skeptic coming into the course and, of course, wanted that "bang for my buck", but I could not have been happier with my experience. In short, I achieved every goal I had coming into the course and I got an even richer experience coming out of it. The bootcamp helped me solidify my UX/UI skills & interests while giving me the platform (and confidence) to pursue UX/UI design in a more than successful manner. Most importantly, the culture that they provided (from admin to instructors to TA) was an invaluable asset to the entire experience. I thought some reviews were corny when they mentioned a "family-like vibe" before I entered the course, but no joke, it organically came about that way and was the magic to the whole thing. I've met some truly special people and developed meaningful connections.
I felt a little lost in what I wanted to do before I came in to the course (having exhausted all kind of jobs in all kinds of industries) and always felt stuck in my potential, but the bootcamp changed my life and gave me back my confidence in my personal & professional skills while giving me the networks & resources needed to really pursue a career and not just a job. It was intense, but so worth every penny & minute spent. Also keep in mind that the course is here to help you, NOT do it all for you. This is an important read: bit.ly/ironhackuxui
Pros:
- Instructor (X1000): Nevan made the entire difference because of his experience & character. The material was so digestible and interesting. His direction & guidance was priceless.
- Teacher assistants: telling of the course & instructor to have these individuals as the TA. They were relatable, but still way more knowledgeable to help us along the way
- constant events: Ironhack constantly holds professional events, grabbing the industry and its networks in through the doors. The topics are always relevant & networking it great
- material & projects: what can I say? I'm super proud to have the projects on my portfolio and have received delightful feedback from industry professionals on the scope of the project
- tuition well spent (investing back in the students): You're always going to feel like you're spending a lot on whichever bootcamp you sign up for, but I always felt like I got more than what I expected. They often will have events that have free snacks & beverages (free filtered water!!!) for the students and you can tell that part of the tuition is really kept for the students
- friendly atmosphere: any staff member is always helpful & cheery. It was never stiff walking into the office or talking to at admin staff
- location: you're in the center of the tech neighborhoods (10 min walk away from the tech hub in BCN) and in the middle of really great coffee shops
Cons:
- some students got lazy towards the end which was a bit distracting but not really Ironhack's fault
- can't think of anything else

UX/UI Bootcamp
Loved Ironhack, since I started back in 2016. Enjoyed the UX/UI bootcamp, it was very immersive and very intense. But overall I learned all the fundamentals of UX/UI design and I know the lectures and teachings from the Instructors will help me in my future endeavors.

Great experience!
The course was a very intense but rewarding experience. Not only did I learn a lot of new things that I had the oppotunity to put into practice by building three fun projects, but Ironhack also plans and makes events that allows you to get to know people outside classes.
