Can you expand on what you mean by the 6 week learning experience, the program is around 4.5 months right? Is the rest of that time spent spent on projects?

Sure. So I'm talking about the full time immersive that is 13 weeks. It's split between the junior portion and the senior portion. There are about 4-5 weeks of classroom style units. You spend a day or two on a topic and then do some homework / practice, then get the approach from the instructor the next day, then move on to the next topic. There are weekly tests and if you don't do well you get extra 1-1 help from a senior or an instructor. Once you pass an assessment you are done the core materials and become a senior. After that you start doing projects and there are 4 projects you do, which I won't go into more detail on right now, but 3 of them are a bit smaller and end up being listed as "open source" work on your resume. The biggest one is the OSP which most people feature as standalone experience on their resume and takes about 3 to 4 weeks. During the project phase there are still lectures on specific topics and you start doing job hunting lectures for your resume and the Codesmith style application etc... but you are mostly starting to focus on building out your resume and the job hunt and also mentoring juniors who just started. And that brings you to week 13. I can do day by day exact schedule of what you would be doing, the above is a simplification but Codesmith should provide the latest to you directly because it can change.
