When we set off on the NSS DS4 journey together in September 2020, we had no idea what would be in store for us. In addition to the general anxieties that have shaped all of our lives throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we knew that we had signed ourselves up to push our limits - intellectually, physically, and emotionally. Over the past nine months, however, we have discovered an exhilarating camaraderie in each other and have found ourselves supported at every turn by our phenomenal NSS mentors and the generosity of the Nashville Tech community.

Our Teachers
Teaching is hard and underappreciated work, but our instructors and TAs never seemed to tire of the challenge. Whether helping us debug code (sometimes into the wee hours of the night), leading hands-on workshops, or offering insightful feedback on our project ideas, we couldn’t imagine having learned as much without your guidance. Thank you.

Nashville Software School Team
The NSS community extends well beyond the (virtual) classroom and we have had the immense privilege of turning to our NSS advocates, mentors, administrators, and colleagues as we forge our new career paths. We are grateful to John Wark for envisioning NSS, Mary van Valkenburg for developing the Data bootcamp programs, the all-star career development team for encouraging us to dream big, and all of the people who have made our entire class experience possible.
