Learn with intent.
Build with purpose.
Two pathways to verified experience: foundational training or applied project work, both mentor-supervised, portfolio-ready.
Choose your Academy track
Start where you are. Choose Bootcamp (learn) or Externship (train + project) to build portfolio proof fast, then step into real work with mentor support.
Bootcamp
Master fundamentals in Software, AI, or Data with mentor guidance. Learn real team workflows and build portfolio projects that prove skill.
Externship
Start with a focused training ramp, then apply it on a mentor-supervised project using sprints, PRs, tests, and weekly demos.
Graduate with PR links, demo recordings, docs, and a named mentor reference, everything you need to move from Academy into real work.Don’t need training and just want real work experience? Apply for an Internship →
Why TechX Academy
Academy is your bridge from learning to doing. Build fundamentals in Bootcamp, apply them in a mentor-supervised Externship, then step into an Internship with artifacts and confidence, ready to win interviews.
Learn → Apply → Transition
Academy combines Bootcamp (skills & workflows) with Externship (applied project) so you can step into an Internship with real momentum, not just tutorials.
Mentor-led feedback loop
Senior engineers set standards, review your PRs, and coach you through weekly demos. You’ll practice exactly how modern teams ship.
Evidence employers can verify
Leave with merged PRs (or ready branches), tests, docs, demo recordings, and a named mentor reference, portfolio proof that wins interviews.
Bootcamp vs. Externship
Both programs are mentor-led and designed to build your portfolio, the difference is whether you’re still learning the fundamentals or ready to work on real company projects.
| Bootcamp | Externship | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Build strong fundamentals and industry-ready habits. | Apply your skills on a real, mentor-supervised project. |
| Format | Structured lessons, hands-on exercises, and a personal capstone. | 4 weeks of guided ramp-up, followed by 6 weeks building with a team. |
| Mentorship | Led by experienced instructors with personalized feedback. | Reviewed and coached by senior engineers from top tech companies. |
| Experience type | Training environment with practice projects. | Real-world workflows: sprints, PR reviews, and demos. |
| Outcome | A completed portfolio project that demonstrates your skills. | Verifiable contributions, mentor reference, and team experience. |
| Best for | Beginners or switchers learning to code or restart their tech journey. | Students and junior developers ready for hands-on industry experience. |
Bootcamp helps you learn to build. Externship helps you build to learn. Both get you one step closer to a real internship or full-time offer.

What students say
Real experiences from Academy graduates
Jiajun Li
Computer Science Student at Columbia University
"TechX gave me invaluable hands-on experience in full-stack development. I left the program more confident in my skills and better prepared for the challenges of real-world engineering. The mentorship pushed me to keep learning and adapting quickly to new technologies."
Giulio Bardelli
Computer Science Student at St. John's University
"During my TechX internship, I co-developed an AI-powered research digest system from the ground up. I learned how to build scalable AI applications, integrate multiple APIs, and design intuitive interfaces. It was an incredibly rewarding experience blending AI with modern web development."
Mohammad Baqai
Computer Science Student at University of Illinois Chicago
"My internship at TechX was a turning point. I built scalable systems, deployed cloud-native apps on AWS, and integrated real-time AI solutions. More than just coding, I learned how to think like an engineer and deliver production-ready systems alongside a collaborative team."
