Technical & Mindset Challenge Guide

Welcome to the Technical & Mindset Challenge!

‍
This is the second phase of the admissions process for Project Y membership. In this phase, we want to assess your ability to learn and apply new concepts in a technical challenge, as well as your mindset! The aim of this phase is not only to assess the quality of your answers but also your determination, motivation, and mindset to complete them in a short period of time. We are not looking for perfection, but do your very best to show us you want to be part of Project Y!
Before you proceed with the challenge, be sure to read a little more about Project Y on our website.

The Technical & Mindset Challenge is an online test comprising 90 multiple choice questions based on fullstack fundamentals, growth mindset, and emotional intelligence.

If selected for membership, you will be learning all the fundamentals of fullstack web development in detail with us, including building frontend applications using React, and backend technologies using ExpressS and MongoDB.
