Hacker School: Where Students and Instructors Learn Together

Hacker-school-image

With recent advances in technology, we've seen unprecedented innovation in education — from online master's degrees to webinars, and new ways to collaborate with other students around the world. Furthermore, we've seen an enormous increase in software development programming courses such as Codecademy and Treehouse. In the midst of all the education reform and experimentation, Hacker School takes a very different approach to training the next generation of programmers.

No tuition. No grades. No teachers. No curriculum. Um, what?

Hacker School is a three-month, full-time school for programmers in New York City. It is completely free, and the lack of curriculum lets students focus on their passion projects, learning how to improve coding skills along the way. We spoke with Mary Rose Cook, a new facilitator at Hacker School about why the school chose such a hands-off model for teaching, what the company culture is like and what the plans are for the future.
