RBK Coding BootKamp in Jordan and Turkey. Re:Coded Coding Camp in Iraq (Erbil) and Turkey (Istanbul and Sanliurfa)
Bringing about new skills and expertise in conflict-affected areas is essential to the development and reconstruction of those regions. We aim to unveil the many potential coding heroes that only lack the opportunity to improve their lives and build their own future. Our hands-on learning material and training sessions allow a quick insertion in the workforce, thus shaping an entire generation of tech-savvy professionals.”
