Express interestLive, cohort-based, free for participants
CodeWeekend runs intensive coding bootcamps that are taught fully live — never asynchronous, never recorded-and-forgotten. Students learn alongside a cohort of peers, with mentors who actively work as developers in industry.
Our flagship program in 2026 is the Web & AI Development Bootcamp, a 12-week program created specifically for women and girls in Afghanistan. We’ve also offered longer Full Stack programs in previous cohorts, and continue to evaluate when to bring those back.
All programs are free for participants thanks to the support of partners like the Linda Norgrove Foundation, Hackajob, and Scrimba.
The CodeWeekend Promise
What every learner can count on, always.
A named, structural commitment to every student we accept. Not aspirational language — operational guarantees.
Live instruction, every session.
No pre-recorded videos, no asynchronous-only modules. Every class is taught live by a working developer.
A cohort that goes through it with you.
You are never learning alone. Pair programming, peer code reviews, and a community that does not go quiet after graduation.
Mentorship from people who ship.
Cohorts are staffed by working engineers and dedicated female mentors from Afghanistan and abroad. They share their professional experiences and answer the questions only practice can produce.
Free for participants.
Through partnerships with the Linda Norgrove Foundation, Hackajob, Scrimba, and others, the program is free for those accepted — including scholarships, internet packages, and laptops where needed.
