Founders & Coders (London) - Software Engineering

Founders & Coders is perhaps the most unique of the London-based coding Bootcamps. It is tuition-free (👍), peer-led (👫) and run as a non-profit (❌💰) with a focus on social impact (💡). Whilst the other schools are relatively similar, varying mostly in duration and price, Founders & Coders is different in more fundamental ways, both how your learn and what you make.

• Peer-led - Classes are self-taught. Students are broken into small groups to deep-dive on certain topics. They then come together to share their learnings, each leading their own section. Mentors are available (often previous students).
• Social impact/Tech for better - Student projects are build toward community improvement and altruistic causes. e.g. marketplaces for recycled goods, platforms for sharing food.
• Tuition-free - As well as creating projects for good, the school itself is a platform for upward social mobility. This means courses are cost-free, remaining accesible to all candidates.
