Motoko Camp returns January 16-22, 2023!
The Internet Computer ecosystem is growing exponentially and is full of opportunity. There are a lot of things to build, and if you learn how to build on the platform now, you’ll be on your way sooner!
This is your chance to enter the largest growing Web3 ecosystem and help shape its future.
What is a training camp?
Bootcamp is a virtual event where you will spend an intense week with other students learning about Internet computers and Motoko.
You’ll assist with lectures, solve challenges, and build your first project, and throughout the week you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with fellow students and experienced mentors from the community.
How do I apply?
To apply, please fill out this form:
docs.google.com/forms/d/1nhKy535eYsQ7fZsxMvdOrM3Sqg3zH1bR1_CWBELS_lA/viewform?edit_requested=true
⚠️ This form does not guarantee you entry into the bootcamp, we want to make this as convenient as possible, but given the overwhelming interest we may have to limit the number of participants and make selections.
Is it free?
It’s 100% free and you can even earn rewards during the bootcamp.
I'm a complete newbie, can I still apply?
Yes, it only takes 5 minutes! However, please understand that we prioritize experienced profiles.
Bootcamps are not a substitute for a proper introduction to coding or computer science, so make sure you prepare for bootcamp by becoming familiar with the following topics:
HTML
CSS
Javascript / Typescript
Node.js
Git
Using a Terminal
There are many excellent YouTube videos and online resources available for learning the basics of each of the above topics.
⚠️ Entry into the bootcamp requires completion of basic coding challenges to ensure all students reach the required level within the week.
There will be more camps in the future, so if you’re not ready for this version, don’t stress, we’ll be there for you when you are!
How much time do I need to allocate during the week?
Learning enough to start building real dApps on the Internet Computer within a week is a challenging task!
If your goal is to complete all challenges and assist in all lectures: The bootcamp will require your full attention for 7 days (yes, including weekends), and you will need to spend 6-8 hours per day.
You can also go at your own pace, but to earn the “infamous” Motoko Bootcamp Diploma you’ll need to complete the challenges on time.
Do you plan to do other languages besides Motoko?
Due to time constraints, this bootcamp is focused on Motoko, but the registration form includes a section where you can select the language you wish to use to build on the IC (Rust/Motoko/Typescript/Python).
Other languages will be considered for future releases!
How to handle different time zones?
We look forward to students and contributors from all over the world, which is very exciting but also very challenging.
Whenever we schedule a lecture, it’s always inconvenient in certain time zones – that’s why all lectures are recorded and the recordings are made available as soon as possible after the lecture.
We are working with contributors from different time zones, so there will always be a lead and several people to help you during the event.
How can I contribute to this event?
Motoko Bootcamp is a community-led event and we are looking for contributors in the community to help us during the event, and we are also looking for partners in the ecosystem who want to sponsor the event.
If you are interested in contributing or sponsoring, please be sure to fill out this form:

What happens after Motoko Camp? Can I find a job?
All students who successfully complete the Motoko Bootcamp and all contributors will receive a Soul Bound Token (NFT) corresponding to the diploma/certificate as proof of graduation/proof of contribution.
Prestigious diplomas distributed to Motoko Bootcamp 2022 graduates (and contributors)
This NFT provides lifetime access to an exclusive DSCVR portal, and we are connecting with several top startups in the ecosystem to provide opportunities for Bootcamp graduates and contributors.
Whether you can find a job after the bootcamp depends on your experience level and how much effort you are prepared to put into this bootcamp, we are currently discussing several projects to provide employment opportunities for graduates!
Ultimately, what happens is up to you and the rest of the bootcamp community: we get to be part of the first community of developers on a platform that has the potential to spark a global technological revolution.
We want to start an active movement and count on your help, connect with other builders, help us spread the word about the Internet Computer, participate in organizing future versions (or create your own version of the bootcamp), and build the infrastructure to make education and future bootcamps even more incredible, the possibilities are endless…
Let’s start building!
