We know a lot of people are staying at home right now, and we’ve heard from many of you that you’d like to take a class with us before our next start date on May 26. So we are pleased to announce that we will be running a special Intro to Programming class beginning April 27th to May 15. If stay-at-home orders are extended and there’s sufficient interest from students, we may extend the class length. You can sign up here.
Class will run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Pacific time) for three weeks. Much like our in-person classes, we emphasize collaboration and community in our online classes. Classes communicate on Discord (a text and audio chat app), and pairs use Discord to talk with each other while they work on code together using Visual Studio Code’s Live Share extension.
Tuition for the class will be $850. We know COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the lives and livelihoods of many, so we will be offering a limited number of full and partial scholarships. In order to apply, you will just need to submit a short written statement on the impact the COVID-19 crisis has had on your working or studying situation.
If you’re still deciding whether Epicodus is for you, we encourage you to join us on April 25 from 11am-3pm for our free online information session and workshop. The workshop will use a similar format to our online class. You can sign up for the workshop and information session here.
If you’d like to use this time of staying at home to learn a new skill, we hope we’ll see you at our workshop and in our class shortly!
