// about_42

what is 42?

42 Berlin is a tuition-free coding school and part of the largest network of free tech schools in the world. Instead of lectures, students learn through 12 to 18 months of peer-to-peer, project-based work.

That model builds the autonomy and hands-on skill they will need on the job, because it is the only way they are ever taught to work.
