CodeCraft School Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp graduate shares his final project app, KidKoo.

KidKoo is an app that is assigned to kids by their school counselor/social worker, who have been identified as needing additional help due to their vulnerability. At this stage, the app allows the child to write into 6 input fields, each input field represented by a different emotion, Happy, Proud, Disappointed, Worried, Sad and Angry. The posts go directly to the counselor, who can review the posts and based on the information provided by the child, can better prepare for meetings with the child and research and implement resources if needed. If the child were to use any red-flag words in the post, such as hate or hurt, those words would be highlighted for the counselor.

With encouragement by the counselor, the child uses the app regularly and is able to better communicate their experiences and feelings in a way that helps them get their emotional needs met and strengthens their coping mechanisms.

FULL-TIME FULL STACK WEB DEVELOPMENT BOOTCAMP

CodeCraft’s 10-week coding bootcamp teaches the incredibly popular MEAN stack, which is a modern, 100% JavaScript-based approach to web development, and is very high in demand within the coding/tech industry. One of the great things about JavaScript is that it can be used to write both client side (front-end) code and server (back-end) code, making it easier and more efficient for our students to learn the “full stack” by leveraging ONE language instead of multiple languages, as you would have to do if you were learning another “stack” such as Ruby on Rails.
