<p>Welcome to the future of learning</p>
<div id="about">
<p>Founders & Coders runs tuition-free coding schools in London (since 2014) and Nazareth (beginning Spring 2017). We transform talented individuals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds into sought-after software developers. All of our graduates find well-paid employment in software development or a related field.</p>
<p>Our revolutionary peer-led programme begins with a 16-week immersion in full-stack JavaScript, Node.js, and Git. Working collaboratively in pairs and teams, students master the fundamentals of "agile" development practices by delivering real projects to clients such as early-stage startups and NGOs.</p>
<p>Instead of traditional top-down instruction, Founders & Coders has mentors-former students who work from the Founders & Coders co-working space on freelance projects until they are ready to seek full-time employment.</p>

<p>"I did not think it was possible to learn so much in such a short time"</p>

<p>Programme schedule</p>
<div id="coders">
<p>We run three programmes a year, starting in February, June, and October. The programme consists of a 16-week foundation followed by up to 10 weeks of working on real-world projects.</p>
<p>Classes are peer-led and project-based with sixteen students working in four teams of four. Students take turns delivering seminars, running code reviews and managing projects.</p>
<p>Our curriculum primarily covers test-driven development, using JavaScript and Node.js. We also cover aspects of UX design, product management and entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>After graduation, we aim to help our students find freelance projects, so that they can hone their skills, build a project portfolio and mentor the next cohort of students</p>

<p>Our Story</p>
<div id="ourStory">
<p>Founders & Coders is a nonprofit social enterprise that runs a tuition-free coding bootcamp in London. We support ourselves by providing technical expertise and training to nonprofits and early-stage startups. With the support of the UK Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy, we are opening our first international campus in Nazareth in early 2017.</p>
<p>History</p>
<p>Founders & Coders began in 2014 when Dan Sofer, who had worked for years as a software developer and project manager, decided to take some online programming courses to refresh his skills. He started meeting regularly with other people taking similar courses, and Founders & Coders was born.</p>
<p>Dan realised he loved peer-led learning and decided to expand the meetups by setting up a classroom space where aspiring developers could collaborate. Eager students flocked to Dan's courses. Eventually, Dan got so busy recruiting work for his students that the programme had to run itself – and it did. Former students provided critical mentorship and curricular guidance. Founders & Coders blossomed into a vibrant, self-organising community.</p>
