Emerging Digital Academy is North Dakota’s first ever full stack software development training program. Founded by Emerging Prairie, EDA was created to address the growing demand for skilled software developers in North Dakota. Since its creation, EDA has had graduates go on to work for many recognizable companies but many have also gone on to be founders of their own businesses.
The Hopper cohort is Emerging Digital Academy’s eighth consecutive cohort. As part of their learner’s capstone projects, each student in a cohort must complete a solo project where they build an application completely on their own. Over the last 15 weeks, they have been learning, building, and preparing for their solo projects. On Monday, October 31st, the six Hopper cohort students demonstrated their projects via Facebook livestream.
