Coding Bootcamp Student Projects: Guides, Games, and Social Apps

Coding bootcamps are designed to prepare students of all starting skill levels for careers in software engineering. At Fullstack Academy, this means developing current, in-demand skills through a project-based curriculum.

The capstone project is a core component of Fullstack Academy tech bootcamps and allows students to showcase what they’ve learned throughout their coding journey.

These projects form the foundation of a professional software engineering portfolio, which graduates can use to show prospective employers.

We’ve compiled 3 coding student presentations that demonstrate how the technical and interpersonal skills learned in bootcamp can culminate in dynamic, functional web applications. Read on to experience what real students have created in the Fullstack Academy Coding Bootcamp.

1. Blissful Journey: Coding Bootcamp Project

An all-inclusive guide to planning your next vacation, the Blissful Journey website features highly customizable search options. Users can browse locations by personal interests or notable attractions—or be matched to their ideal vacation destination with an interactive personality quiz.

Among other technologies taught in bootcamp, the app utilizes PostgreSQL for database management and to power these more advanced queries.

2. Pucker Up: Coding Bootcamp Project

Pucker Up is part dating website, part traditional social media. Triggered by a user clicking on another’s profile from a preview, a match is made between the users. From there, users can edit and optimize their profile, carry on direct messages in real-time, view data insights like profile views, and more thanks to a dynamic user interface powered by React.

3. High Score: Coding Bootcamp Project

A collection of 3 distinct video games, High Score is designed with social elements in mind to allow users to compete for the highest scores. It’s ideal for fostering team building in a work setting, as players can compete during downtime throughout the day. The app depends on React, Redux, and CSS technologies to display its full range of graphics.

These full stack coding bootcamp projects are examples of just a few types of web applications you’ll learn how to build in the Fullstack Academy Software Engineering Immersive. As a coding student, the capstone project is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and creativity—in bootcamp and beyond as a professional software engineer.
