Program Overview

We build in many languages with a Zen approach to development. Programming is artistic and is 90% about how to be minimalist and get out of the way of the code. You'll learn this philosophy and how to use best-practices while working on artificial intelligence, flow apps, Cyber Security Strategies, Web Development, App Development, Cognitive Functions for Video Games, and many other aspects of programming.

We work in multiple hives around the world, using VS Code, Visual Studio, and then working directly on VMs with Azure. You can fork some of our projects directly, or you can jump onto a team and watch us code Front-End Development to see if this path is right for you. After your own Git commits are high enough, we'll discuss bringing you onboard to make contributions side-by-side with our team.

Learning FAQ

We don't believe in time. Really, at all. Our programs allow you to start when you want and contribute as much or as little as you want. Learn to break free from solid guidelines & instead we want you to make decisions for yourself. Instead of asking this question, ask how passionate you are, yourself? What time commitment do you desire in this chapter of your life? Then, you'll have your answer.

No. None of our learning paths are paid. We consider these Experiential learning where you receive well over 80% education and training in brand new areas you have no understanding of, instead of mundane work. We are a non-profit with a very strong focus on providing learning opportunities, not labor. Read our Lifelong Learning page to understand why we recommend this approach.

Sort of. We are partnered with many corporations all over the world and we also hire for our own organization right from our interns. Will an offer be given to you? Statistics say "No" but your own performance and aptitude will answer that question for you and will most likely take three years before a formal offer is made to you. Yes, 3 years - you read that correctly.

Credit is determined by your Career Services department at your own Education Institute. This is handled on a case-by-case basis and we really encourage every intern to work directly with us & their career services department as an intermediary at every step of the way.

We are open to experiences with all demographics internationally. You don't have to be enrolled in school, no degree required, and no age limit. You will need a strong command of the English language and you will need to complete Orientation and maintain a high Curiosity Score with a burning passion for learning, having impact, and thriving on a team. Showing all of this with action and interactivity instead of with resumes or cover letters.

That is entirely up to you. We respect that you're getting your feet wet in the world of business and we want to leave things open-ended. Though, those who have the best success pick one area and focus only passionately for six months without looking back or changing their mind. Consistency and stability are rare qualities seen in new workforce. However, there is no pressure to change your mind or even dabble in as many projects as you want with us to see how things work.

Absolutely! We teach lifelong learning, and what fun would work be if you had to do it with strangers? You're welcome to start your journey with us alongside your friends and we also are certain you'll make friends inside the community once you immerse yourself. Feel free to share details about your interests to see if there are others in the community who want to study the same hours as you or who have similar goals and timelines for completing them - we are all very social.
