About Academia de Código

Location:

Lisbon, Porto, Terceira Island

Founded in Lisbon in 2015, this Portuguese-born social impact startup is focused on reprogramming lives through the empowering teaching of code.

Strongly committed to snatching talented minds out of unemployment && || dead-end jobs, they currently host... Read More

Their regular programming bootcamps welcome n00bs of all ages (over 18) && backgrounds - graduates or not - as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional - and happily employed - junior full-stack software developers within a very short period of time. Students are guided throughout the course by a team of instructors who have themselves formerly been pupils at the bootcamp. Their teaching methods are peculiar && their passion for clean code is only surpassed by their love for amazingly talented people that society has disregarded.

To apply to their regular courses, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, go through an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp.

In each one of their campuses, different financing/sponsorship solutions are offered to help talented candidates that cannot advance the bootcamp's fee. Its specific terms and conditions are listed on their site's FAQs.

"Give Yourself a Chance or Die Tryin’!"

Bonsoir, my dear reader. Have you ever felt that the world was against you? That you got no control on your life whatsoever? Maybe, even when you chose to do something meaningful with your life, that path never felt like the right one. Somehow something... Read More

On this course you will learn that stop learning is not an option. Every day you have to arrive on time or you will be invited to dance in front of your new and for life friends. The more you think “I got this”, the more mistakes will happen, and from those, serendipitously, you will start to see how things come together and how the Force of coding ignites from you. Of course, the lectures will be guided by highly trained professionals at spotting bad code from long distances, perceiving “WTF is that concept” faces from their peripheral vision, and to indulge you to get to know 10 friends of theirs: curiosity and empathy.
They will show you the idiosyncrasy of solving problems that you never thought of and they will help you understand how to tackle them, whenever you need them to do so.

Do not deceive yourself into thinking that you have no talent, that you do not know anything about how to code, that you are no good at math, that you are worthless. You are reading this because the world needed you to be, as you are now, considering taking this course. If you are really willing to make a change for you and your life, if you imagine yourself battling to bring out the best of you, rebuilding anew the way you perceive and take action, you should give yourself a chance and apply to this course. We never know, but you might be the one who will make a life changing impact on someone. As they did for me, they will give you all the necessary tools to fearlessly overcome the obstacles ahead, with the embodied hope that anyone should hope for:

Everyone should have an equal opportunity to make the difference.
