- Bootcamp covers the same material as Student Chapters, minus student chapter-run activities, such as additional trainings, Solutioneer Showcase, professional development and networking opportunities.
- To supplement this shortened timeline, Foundation staff facilitate all workshops.
- Timing of the 10 workshops is customizable, whether the time frame is 10 days or two months.
