The anchor
A week at 42 Berlin
42 Berlin is a tuition-free, teacher-free, peer-to-peer coding school. There are no lectures and no instructors; participants work through projects by building, reviewing each other's work, and getting unstuck together. It is the one week of the programme that is not a visit.
Closer to home
Not every visit needs a passport
The programme runs alongside local exposure visits organised through Google Developer Groups on Campus at Babcock, so the pipeline does not depend on a participant being able to afford international travel.
