Educating Oklahoma’s Future Coders
OK Coders is Oklahoma’s first developer bootcamp. Our part-time courses are accessible to both professional developers and those with limited programming experience and cover a range of technologies and tools needed to build complete web applications and kick-start a career in programming. Through OK Coders, you’ll learn from an experienced web developer in a classroom setting, all while meeting others in your community with similar interests.
Our Impact
OK Coders offers beginner and intermediate coding bootcamps for adults 18+ in OKC and Tulsa. Bootcamps cover current development technologies and are taught by software engineers from the local tech community, making OK Coders ideal for anyone ready to kickstart their coding career or pick up a new hobby. OK Coders bootcamps run 4 hours a week on evenings and weekends to accommodate full-time workers and students.
20+
Bootcamps to date
OK Coders offered its first bootcamp in OKC in 2014 and graduated a class of 20. Since then, we’ve run over 20 bootcamps covering a variety of programming topics in both Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
350+
Coders Trained
Over 350 adults from a variety of backgrounds and careers have now been through OK Coders bootcamps and become part of the tech community in Oklahoma. Participants have a variety of education levels and job titles. All are welcome that have a desire to learn something new!
35%
Work as Developers
While OK Coders doesn’t have a formal job placement program, over 1/3 of past participants now work as full-time software developers, with an additional percentage now working in programming adjacent tech fields. Not everyone that takes OK Coders decides that programming is a good fit for them, and that’s okay too! We hope to be an accessible and inexpensive way for people to pick up some new skills and figure out if a career in software development is right for them.
