Alien Species Welcome

Devcademy is open for students, recent graduates, and tech enthusiasts who want to get into the dark matter of technology. Apply, outwit a (small) challenge, and get to our Devcademy orbit!

Classes are entirely online! And through our Journey, we’ll go through weekly tasks and one-on-one mentoring and then, a big bang – the final hackathon, which will be launched in Notch Zagreb office – Ul. Republike Austrije 33

In the orbit with Crocube

Be a bright star for the first Croatian satellite that goes into orbit in 2024! Devcademy weekly tasks, as well as the final hackathon, will have a CroCube flag on it.

Tihana O.

“Last year during the summer holidays, I wanted to gain new experiences and expand my knowledge, and at the same time, I wanted to spend the summer at sea. Devcademy allowed me both. I learned a lot working on weekly assignments, and I could always turn to mentors who were available and friendly. At the Hackathon, I had the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in a team on a real project, and after graduation, I got a job at Notch.”

Tihana Oremuš, Software Engineer

Vitomir M.

“I consider Devcademy to be the beginning of my professional career, which makes it one of the most memorable events. The weekly tasks are not overly demanding, which is a great thing, and the highlight of the education was Hackathon. After successfully completing the weekly tasks, we test the acquired knowledge, and the winners of the Hackathon are provided with valuable prizes. But also, more importantly, an opportunity to become part of Notch – so I can recommend participation to anyone who wants to build a solid foundation for their future careers.”

Vitomir Marjanović, Software Engineer

Valentina K.

“Participating in the Devcademy was an ideal way to take advantage of the summer. The weekly tasks were challenging enough to interest me, but also simple enough to easily fit into my summer schedule. The mentors followed our work and were ready to answer all our questions. As the most fun, but also the most challenging part of the school, I would definitely highlight the two-day Hackathon where we had the opportunity to understand the importance of teamwork, good organization, and a pleasant work atmosphere in application development.”

Valentina Križ, Software Engineer

Jurica J.

“I was really surprised by the efficiency of the approach to education. Mostly because it resulted in my ability to create a functional and complete backend without previous knowledge. The whole process was pleasant and stress-free, with weekly tasks that can be easily mastered. I always had someone available for questions and there was always someone reviewing my code and suggesting where I could improve, so this experience contributed to my programming more than I expected. I liked that in the end, we had the opportunity to work in a team, an important aspect of the development of the application.”

Jurica Jurić, Software Engineer
