Summary

Bit Camp creates a 6-week JavaScript bootcamp in partnership with TwilioQuest, aiming to democratize tech education by providing open source learning experiences that partner industry leaders as mentors. The program's "Intro to Javascript" course uses TwilioQuest's JavaScript Test Lab mission to develop curriculum and encourages students to build projects with impact on the world. Students are accompanied by Twilio software engineers who meet weekly to answer questions about JavaScript, while a live stream is shared on Twitch each week. This initiative helps bridge the gap in tech education for non-traditional backgrounds and aims to inspire a community of future tech leaders.
