In this 2-week immersive bootcamp, students learn Python and Django to build real microservices. With 1:1 mentor support, they create REST APIs, connect databases, test endpoints, and link services. Week 1 builds standalone services, and Week 2 connects them through API calls. Students finish with a working microservice project and earn the YoungGates Python Microservice Explorer certificate.
In this 2-week 1:1 immersive journey of 2 hours per day, students learn the core principles of microservices architecture using Python (Django framework) while building real-world, scalable applications.Guided by a YoungGates Mentor, learners will go step-by-step — from understanding microservices concepts to deploying their first service — all in a safe, hands-on, and interactive environment.By the end of Module 1, students will think like software architects and confidently build simple, independent Python microservices.
What Students Will Learn
Microservices Basics: Understand modular software architecture and the benefits over monolithic systems
Python & Django Fundamentals: Create Python-based REST APIs, models, and simple services
Service Integration: Learn how independent services communicate via REST APIs
Database Connectivity: Connect microservices to MySQL/PostgreSQL for storing and retrieving data
Testing & Debugging: Test endpoints and ensure correct responses
Collaboration Skills: Understand basic service discovery and integration conceptsMentors hand-hold students through every step, ensuring they understand the “why” behind microservices and can confidently build projects.
Week-by-Week Breakdown
Week 1 – “Building Your First Python Service”• Introduction to microservices and architecture concepts• Learn Django basics and REST API creation• Create standalone Python microservices connected to databases
Mini Projects:1 Simple User Service — Build a Python microservice to manage user registration and login2 Data Tracker — Store and retrieve data in MySQL/PostgreSQL using Django models3 API Tester — Test your endpoints using Postman and see live responses
Mentor Role:Students code live with mentors, receive instant feedback, and get hands-on explanation of microservice logic.
Week 2 – “Connecting & Expanding Services”• Learn how multiple microservices interact• Explore REST-based communication between independent services• Introduce error handling and simple authentication
Mini Projects:1 Inventory Service — Manage product data with CRUD operations2 Order Service — Connect Order service with Inventory service via API calls3 Service Dashboard — Create a simple dashboard showing live service data
Mentor Role:Mentors guide students in integration, debugging, and testing across services, making coding collaborative and exciting.
Project Showcase (End of Module 1)Students present their first Python microservice system, showing how independent services work together.Parents witness their teen confidently explain API logic, data flow, and database connections — a proud milestone in hands-on software learning.
Outcome & CertificationAt the end of Module 1, students earn: YoungGates Certified Python Microservice ExplorerPersonalized Mentor Feedback ReportStar Rating & Eligibility for Level 2 – Python Microservice Creator
Mentorship Promise“We don’t just teach coding — we teach system thinking.”Each learner receives:• 1:1 mentor guidance for every project• Daily progress check-ins and challenge reviews• Hands-on exercises with real-time support• Encouragement to develop independent thinking and coding confidence
