The most thoughtfully curated after-school coding program for students in the Lower Mainland
Not your regular coding program
Honed and refined curriculum to maximize learning and progress.
We are intensive but flexible
At Polyglot, we streamline the curriculum to ensure that you come out capable and confident with coding in your free-time, and have a strong foundation to do software engineering work. We don't just do "toy-problems" and call it a day. We tackle real day-to-day problems seen in the industry! Not your regular coding program

Learn from people who have worked at the best
Look up any coding program and you'll be hard-pressed to find instructors that have worked at the Big-N.
Polyglot's instructors and advisors have worked at the top firms for software engineering. Amongst their involvement are working on machine learning teams at Twitter, Amazon, Google, Facebook and Airbnb. Infra-work at Airbnb and Google, and full-stack development Facebook, Twilio, and Instagram.

Polyglot is hands-on!
Building things and writing code is fun! Sitting in class all day isn't. That's why we will limit our lectures to 30 minutes long, and focus on creating. The best way to learn is to build and make things, and the fastest way to learn is to build things with someone who knows what they're doing. That's why we want to maximize the time I get to spend as students build, so that when they hit any obstacles, we'll be right there to help them out.

Testimonials
!["[I learned] way more [in class] than in school. Everything you learn, you can use it right away! Here you can actually see your own website being built! Aaand we do a lot of interview questions." -Lucy](https://polyglotcoding.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Screen-Shot-2019-04-30-at-8.40.28-PM-300x231.png)
Why learn how to code now?
Piano lessons? Violin lessons? Mandarin lessons? Coding is the language of the future.
Because it helps to start young
Every year it gets more and more difficult to get into a Computer Science major at UBC, or any university, really. See
here,
here, and
here
for a glimpse of how hard it is these days. But learning how to code is still super valuable.
Even if you don't pursue CS as a major, coding gives you the ability to build applications that could really make an impact in the world
Because it's a viable career path that is rewarding financially
It's one of the few majors that lets graduates land a 6-figure job right out of college. The average salaries at major tech cities for a software engineer is $130000. As a new grad at top tech companies (Facebook, Airbnb, Google, Uber, Twitter, etc), total compensation (salary + stock) can amount to over $200000 per year.
Because it's everywhere and the language of the future.
In the for-profit sector, programming is automating things in every single occupation. Lawyers, doctors, financiers, you name it. Programming is here to stay.
Because it's fun and productive
Coding is more than just learning a new language. It gives you the tools to be able to create websites, apps, games, do research, and a multitude of other things! The possibilities are endless
Because it's fulfilling
Knowing how to code will enable you to do so so many things that are incredibly fulfilling. AI can outperform doctors when it comes to diagnosing skin cancer, and are making massive progress in radiology. There are websites that many software engineers contribute to fight human trafficking, apps to track outbreaks and pregnancies in difficult-to-reach places, and so so much more.
Coding gives you the tools to build something...anything really from scratch and gives you the ability to reach billions of people regardless of your age.
We can't think of anything more exciting than that.
