With a will to learn anyone can become a great programmer or designer. But education today still remains too expensive, exclusive, and ineffective. That’s why we’re building an online school that combines the effectiveness of face-to-face learning with the accessibility of online education.

We're training the next generation of experts by creating a community of engineers and designers who can learn from and inspire one another. Today, Thinkful is a community of 300 programmers, designers and data scientists around the world with an average of ten years of experience. We’ve taught over 7,000 students, and we’re managed by a team of 25 in New York City.

Dedicated mentors
Relationships drive learning. Mentors provide the experience, guidance, and accountability to foster confidence and success.

Practical skills
Engineers are paid to solve problems, not write code. We teach people to solve real problems through hands-on projects.

Accessible education
Truly effective learning should be accessible and affordable. The Thinkful community welcomes everyone.

Abundant opportunity
We value intellectual honesty and work ethic over years of experience. Every student, mentor, and employee deserves the time and attention needed to grow.
