    The best Practice you can get

    At the university, you can gain a lot of knowledge but not much practice. 
    As a student of computer science and neuroscience, I learn a lot of theory but don't gain any practical experience. 

    The summer at Horizons allowed me to get...

    The Best Summer Ever

    The title says it all. Horizons was the best three months I have had and will be for a while. Horizons may be a coding bootcamp and you may go with the intention of learning how to be a full stack developer. But the coolest part about Horizons is, it...
