WHO WE ARE:
NESA by Makers is a Yaba-based new economic skills accelerator. Our mission is to transform the
lives of our students by helping them acquire relevant skills that qualify them for immediate gainful
employment, or position them to participate in high-growth entrepreneurial endeavors.
This year, we launched our Full Stack Web Development course. The objective of this 12-week
immersive course is to help students build a strong foundation of computational problem-solving ability,
and give them exposure and practice in front-end web development, back-end web development,
JavaScript frameworks such as AngularJS, and in the use of developer tools such as GitHub. Students
will leave with a portfolio filled with projects they can share with potential employers.

Instructors lead classroom discussions, guide inquiry, emphasize the meta-skills and core concepts of
