What is LC101?

Want to launch a career in tech? To start on this path, you need the right training. With so many options available to learn skills it can be hard to know where to start.

LaunchCode has developed a curriculum providing you with world-class resources to put you on the path to obtaining a job in tech. We've developed this course to teach you the skills that are in high demand within the tech community. To help you succeed in this rigorous course, LC101 provides a supportive classroom environment with in-person mentoring from instructors, teaching fellows, and local developers.

You’ll have only one mission: to boldly code like no one has coded before!

What do I need to take the class?

Students will need access to a laptop to participate in the course. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide students with laptops at this time. Chromebooks and tablets will not be sufficient for use in this course. If you own a PC, you must have Windows 7 OS or more recent, though Windows 8 is strongly preferable. Please apply all system upgrades before coming to class.

Students are expected to spend at least 20 hours each week on coursework, including time spent in class. The class meets twice a week for 3-hour sessions. Outside of class, you are expected to spend 10-15 hours doing readings, watching videos, working on practice problems, and completing assignments.

LC101 is coming to Northwest Arkansas, thanks to the generous support of Walton Family Foundation and Arkansas Center for Data Science! LC101 is a FREE computer programming course with a focus on full-stack web development, covering highly demanded programming languages such as Java and JavaScript. It is an intensive, 20-week program designed to train students with skills they need to seek an apprenticeship and ultimately a career in technology. After completing LC101, graduates are strongly encouraged to participate in an additional FREE 8-week program called Liftoff. Liftoff helps students build out a tech portfolio, hone their resumes, prepare for job interviews, and much more. LaunchCode is currently delivering all education programs online, pending national, state, and local health guidelines and recommendations that indicate it is safe again to hold in-person classes. To allow for student success in this format, the timeline of LC101 and Liftoff course is expanded from 28 to 35 weeks of classes.
