42 is a global education initiative that proposes a new way of learning technology: no teachers, no classrooms, students learning from their fellow students (peer to peer learning), with a methodology that develops both computing and life skills. Not to mention that it's completely free of charge and open to all with no prerequisites.
Admissions at 42 are unlike other colleges. We use a merit-based admission process. The final step of the admission is the Piscine - This is part of the admissions process and requires 4 weeks of intensive and immersive coding. No prior coding experience is necessary at all.The primary language learned at the 42's Piscine is C: dealing with variables,
pointers, memory allocation, macros, as well as creating functions and programs,
including the use and creation of libraries and Makefiles.
The first two days of the bootcamp are dedicated to learning basic to intermediate
shell commands to seamlessly navigate through the terminal.
All projects are submitted via a remote git repository, which demands students to
be at ease with such a system.
At 42, self-learning is at the core of its peer to peer learning methodology. There
are no teachers whatsoever; the learning process is based on googling, enquiring
your classmates, and empirical knowledge, each student learning at their own pace.
On weekends, a 48h team project called "Rush" is proposed: a 3-member group randomly
chosen by the school's system must collaboratively develop a fully running application.
The major challenge here is to equalize the different knowledge levels while finding a
common work methodology that allows all team members to contribute to the project.
The school is open 24/7. Thus, the so-called "pisciners" are free to work whenever
they want, which demands excellent time management skills and resiliency for not
"drowning" amid the massive load of work demanded by the non-stop 26-day program.
The following table presents the basecamp's curriculum in chronological order in which it was completed by me.
