The dates, times, room bookings and "join us" details below are the historical timetable for that 2024 cohort, kept here for reference only — there is no live class running right now, and nothing to turn up to. All materials are self-paced: work through the modules below with the recorded videos and slides at your own pace. Questions are still welcome — see the contact details further down.

Summary

We have successfully delivered our first time Full Stack AI Engineer Bootcamp in UWA, all the videos, slides and demo code are uploaded to proper places.

We potentially will deliver this again in the coming years based on the feedback. And we also currently develop the Full Stack AI Engineer Bootcamp [Research Focus] version, current one is [Developer Focus] version, we will keep you posted.

At the same time, you can follow the recorded vidoes and slides, learn the key concepts by yourself, if you have problems, you still can contact us, we will support you through the learning progress.

Also if you have successfully made usage of the content you learned here, you can show us the evidence, we will issue you a completion certificate.

Project-Driven Learning:

From Data to Real-World Applications

Transform your learning journey into tangible results by building a meaningful full-stack application. Choose your path and learn by doing:

Option 1: Build Applications for Social Good

Create impactful applications using Western Australia's government datasets from data.gov.au. Projects like map.findperth.com show how we can transform public data into valuable community services with the full stack tech we will deliver in this bootcamp. In this journey, you'll:

• Work with real government datasets
• Create data-driven insights and visualizations
• Build intuitive user interfaces
• Deploy applications that solve community needs
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities to enhance your solution

Option 2: Build Your Dream Project

Have an application idea you're passionate about? Perfect! We'll help transform your vision into reality while mastering the full technology stack. Your project becomes the perfect canvas for applying everything you learn.

What makes this journey special:

• Learn by building: Every concept is immediately applied to your project
• Modern tech stack: Master the latest web development technologies
• AI Integration: Enhance your application with cutting-edge AI/ML capabilities
• Portfolio-ready: Finish with a complete, deployed application that showcases your skills
• Real impact: Whether using public data or your own idea, build something that matters

Why call this "Full Stack AI Engineer" Bootcamp?

Short Answer:

This bootcamp focuses on developer skills because delivering real-world AI products requires strong software engineering foundations. The core mission is enabling you to build and deploy production-ready AI solutions.

Long Answer:

While we do cover modern AI concepts (RAG, Agents, LangChain, etc.), they're integrated within broader development modules. Our approach comes from real-world experience - knowing where and how these tools fit into production systems, rather than treating them as isolated technologies. Our long answer for this will be delivered during the bootcamp progress.

Industry Context:

Like many tech roles before it (Full Stack Developer, DevOps, Cloud Engineer, DevSecOps), "AI Engineer" is another title invented by HR and industry trends. But behind these titles lies a consistent truth: Companies need people who can get things done, whatever it takes.

What organizations really need are practitioners who can:

• Integrate AI into existing systems
• Deliver production-ready solutions
• Bridge the gap between AI capabilities and business needs
• Build scalable, maintainable architectures that combine traditional software with AI components

This bootcamp provides the comprehensive skillset needed to meet these real-world demands, focusing on practical implementation rather than just theoretical concepts.
