My Experience at Tiidelab prefellowship 3.0

My name is Godfrey Ekalumele

I was first introduced to Tiidelab by a friend whose friend was a beneficiary of the Fellowship Program. And I became expectant for the next program. Then, the opportunity came for the Tiidelab Cohort 5.0 Pre- Fellowship 3.0 program, I quickly registered and waited for the interview. I did the first CCAT at the interview and passed, that was how my journey began at Tiidelab Pre-fellowship program.

My first week at Tiidelab Pre-fellowship program.

We all came in as newbies over 250 were admitted to the Pre-fellowship from all around the country, I was invited to the our WhatsApp group which a live online market. And before you know it a red siren comes up with rules and regulations, and many called home for not following the guidelines. It was an extra ordinary whatsApp group that taught us a lot on discipline. A Big thanks to Mr Shams for the lessons I learnt.

Then, the training class started with HTML, I studied the subject before but the style in which we were taught and given assignment aiming to practicalize every tag we were taught was amazing and very impactful, that was when I knew that I was in for a time of transformation in a tech guru.

Then came the dreaded CCAT which usually cause a special silent moment in the WhatsApp group.

Then came CSS the aspect of web development to beauty to all we where taught in the previous class for HTML. Here, I learnt the inline, internal and external styling and their priority. We were taught how to style forms, add placeholder, work with pseudo class and how to style the hover and much more. This class was very impactful for me, because I now being taught to produce instead of just being a consumer of website user experience, now I'm able to design it myself.

Then, we moved to data analysis, where I was taught the essence of data and some skills Microsoft Excel.

And a very compelling class on Personal Branding LinkedIn Optimisation. I was taught on personal branding, the dos and dons of social media and how to harness it potentials for brand development and marketing. The importance your full name and professional headshots were emphasized and an assignment was given to that effect which encourage the students comply with the instruction that were given in the class.

Then, the GitHub class, vercel deployment, JavaScript class and our project to develop an e-commerce website with all we have learnt.

It was an amazing and impactful 6 weeks of intensive training which will live in many that participated. And all these was given to us for free.

Thank you to all our teachers and our Esteemed relentless coordinator Mr Shamsudeen.

Thank you Tiidelab and Partners.
