Having trouble getting started with bootstrap, can't find files

I'm getting started with Bootstrap but I'm having difficulty in properly displaying the website on account of the fact that I keep getting the error Not Found: /checkin/css/bootstrap.min.css and Not Found: /js/bootstrap.min.js (checkin is the name of my app. Here's the code I'm using that I got from the Bootstrap website:

{% load staticfiles %}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <!-- The above 3 meta tags *must* come first in the head; any other head content must come *after* these tags -->
    <title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>

  <body>
  <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-static-top">

                <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Balance Web Development</a>
        </div>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
                <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
                <li class="dropdown">
                    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Services<span class="caret"></span></a>
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                        <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Development</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Consulting</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>

    <!-- jQuery (necessary for Bootstrap's JavaScript plugins) -->

    <!-- Include all compiled plugins (below), or include individual files as needed -->

</script>
  </body>
</html>

I'm not sure what the issue is, I downloaded bootstrap and extracted the css, fonts and js folders to /checkin/ but the browser can't find them. I downloaded JQuery by saving it as jquery.js into the /checkin/ folder as well.

EDIT Some of my project structure: enter image description here

Maintaining a standard project structure always helps and ease the work for anyone.

For normal web application you can follow this standard practise : 

root/
   assets/
      lib/-------------------------libraries--------------------
          bootstrap/--------------Libraries can have js/css/images------------
              css/
              js/
              images/  
          jquery/
              js/
          font-awesome/
              css/
              images/
     common/--------------------common section will have application level resources             
          css/
          js/
          img/

 index.html

Below is your same file but try linking them properly with your js and css and remove direct online links.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <!-- The above 3 meta tags *must* come first in the head; any other head content must come *after* these tags -->
    <title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>

    <!-- Bootstrap defualt files -->
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    
     <!-- Your Bootstrap and js defualt files (Adjust them) -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    <!-- your own custom css and js files -->
    
    
    
  </head>
  <body>
  <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-static-top">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="navbar-header">

                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Balance Web Development</a>
        </div>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">

                        <li><a href="#">Development</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Consulting</a></li>
                    </ul>
