01 Founders is a new type of software engineering school, training students from zero skills to high-end full-stack engineers in two years, through an innovative, peer-to-peer learning model. The model is free for students, teacher-less, gamified and project-based, based on the established pedagogy of 01Edu (the team behind Ecole42 and numerous successful coding schools worldwide), and supported by the brand and ecosystem of Founders Forum, Europe’s premier entrepreneur community and a family of businesses that exist to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey. The school is focusing on removing financial barriers to high-quality digital education, looking to enable people all over the UK, from all walks of life, to learn how to code. The school is entirely free for students and every student is guaranteed a job through a corporate partnership model. We will target segments of the population who wouldn’t ordinarily consider software engineering as a viable career path - given the high barriers to entry of traditional tertiary education.
