Yes, the Masterclass is conducted on Zoom. But, we don't believe in lectures. Rather, we emphasize on interactive learning through exercises, breakout groups and activities during the session. In this way, students both learn and start applying skills during the session.
We don't use traditional professors or teachers. Rather, students learn directly from industry professionals working at the forefront of tech and innovation. Students not only learn from instructors about real-world skills, but learn from their career journeys as well. You can learn more about our instructors at beta.camp/team.
Masterclasses are highly interactive; you won't be sitting and listening for 2 hours!
