Beginning in 2026, you’ll see some big changes in Code the Dream’s program, including shorter (but more demanding) classes on a quarterly schedule, career “pathways”, prerequisites for courses, and stricter deadlines. Stay tuned!
Code the Dream Application Process
Individuals interested in attending classes will need to complete the following steps:
- Request an application – Request an application using this form. Once the form has been submitted, please immediately check your email for the application form (a link in an email message). If you do not see it, please check your Trash/Spam folders. If you still do not see the email, complete the request form again, being sure you have entered your email address correctly.
- Complete the application – Follow the link in the email to complete the application form. When you submit the application, you will immediately receive an email with pre-work instructions. All applicants must complete the pre-work assignment to be considered for a spot in the program. There is no time limit on the pre-work assignment other than submitting it by the deadline. See below for application and pre-work deadlines.
- Complete the pre-work assignment – The pre-work assignment needs to be submitted to us by the pre-work deadline date for the class you are applying for. We planned the pre-work assignments to imitate what one week’s worth of classwork would be. You can take as much or as little time as you need on your pre-work assignment, but ensure your submission works and meets the requirements before submitting it by the deadline in order to have a good chance of being accepted. If you are brand new to coding, you’ll have the option to join a Coding Basics class to help you through the pre-work assignment. You’ll get details on that after your submit your application.
- WATCH FOR RESULTS – we will notify applicants on the date listed above if you have or have not been accepted.
- IF ACCEPTED – in order to be enrolled in the class, you will be required to:
- Complete a registration form – the link will be emailed to you with your acceptance notification
