A good excuse to explore that side project idea
If you're like me, you have at least a half-dozen (half-baked) ideas for side projects sitting on your "idea shelf" waiting for the right opportunity to come along and give you that spark to get started. At my day job (Bridge.Academy), we found that many of the incoming developers entering our program shared the same experience so we decided to do something about it and formalize the process of picking up a new technology you are trying to learn and applying it through a side-project with a program we're calling "The Bridge Tournament".

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
If you're like me, you have at least a half-dozen (half-baked) ideas for side projects sitting on your "idea shelf" waiting for the right opportunity to come along and give you that spark to get started. At my day job (Bridge.Academy), we found that many of the incoming developers entering our program shared the same experience so we decided to do something about it and formalize the process of picking up a new technology you are trying to learn and applying it through a side-project with a program we're calling "The Bridge Tournament". It's designed to give you that extra bit of motivation to take your side project idea off the shelf, pick up a brand new technology and start building the damn thing. Here’s how it works Each month new applicants to join Bridge.Academy participate in a tournament in order to demonstrate their ability to quickly pick up new skills through working on a project of their choosing. Applicants receive points based on their progress. The more impressive your pace of improvement, the higher your score will be and better your chances of winning. The Process Submit your application · Due this Sunday. You’ll describe yourself and your project. Vote on projects · Monday. Other applicants & Bridge Mentors will also vote on your application. Applicants will only see some of your responses. Submit weekly updates · Due every Sunday. You’ll submit a progress update once a week. Vote on updates · Every Monday. Get points from other applicants based on your progress. The more impressive your work, the higher your score will be. More on the process here: https://medium.com/the-spectrum/bridge-academy-alpha-cohort-... You can read more about how the tournament works and find links to apply here: https://medium.com/the-spectrum/announcing-the-bridge-academ...

I'm building out a place to get quick mentorship about a specific app idea you have while you're learning to code. This is for anyone wanting to get direction on how to start a new app idea. The community members will help to narrow the scope a bit with more tailored resources that is focused on your app idea. https://buildfaast.com/ Always interested in feedback! Please shoot it across and I'll log it.
