Code Stack Academy

Code Stack Academy is a 9-month coding school in San Joaquin, California. The school fosters a flourishing community of skilled software engineers ready to meet the demand of employers, and ultimately change the landscape for technology in Stockton and the greater San Joaquin County. The Code Stack Academy course provides a combination of instructor-led hands-on workshops, one-on-one mentoring with career-experienced developers, peer-to-peer learning, and real-world project experience. The curriculum uses project-based gamification to measure progress, where students earn points based on projects completed. Students will learn from Jateen Bhakta, an experienced instructor who co-founded Ninja Pandas, an educational technology company that specializes in teaching game development.

Prospective students should show commitment, communication, collaboration, creativity, time management, and problem-solving skills. After filling out a short online form, applicants will then need to pass a game-based entrance exam.

Code Stack Academy is developed by CEDR Systems, a department of the San Joaquin County Office of Education.
