Our Learning Community
Join an active learning community of coders, hackers, thinkers, engineers, and developers. Contribution is expected, growth is encouraged.

A United Learning Community
When you join Qwasar, you enter a new way and world of learning, as well as a new community. We’re united by common beliefs about the future, about how people learn, and by a respect for top-level coding.
Today’s world is digital, so if the future.
Accountability is a great driver for getting things done, and often that’s what we need when it comes to learning.
Learning to code means digital freedom.
Get encouragement, keep going even when it’s tough.
Your code is your expression
At Qwasar, it doesn’t matter what you background is, where you come from, or what job you’re in. What matters is you, your code, and your learning. Coding and the choices you make is like an expression of who you are and how you think. We’re united by a common interest in how and what you code.

A Community Focused on Learning
Most degrees or bootcamps focus on passing. In the real world, what interests employers and learners is the ability to learn and actual skill development. At Qwasar, our focus your learning growth and competency development, not passing or grades. Three things help foster learning:
Accountability
Accountability is a great driver for getting things done, and often that’s what we need when it comes to learning.
Encouragement
Get encouragement, keep going even when it’s tough.
Confidence That You’re Growing
Because other cohorts join after you, you’ll see for sure that you’ve learned and grown from one month ago or when you first started our programs. You can have confidence that you have grown, that your coding has improved, and that you’re closer to Silicon Valley standards.


People Come for the Learning and Stay for the Community
At Qwasar, the point is that you learn and develop the skills, knowledge, and portfolio for jobs in the real technical world. At work, you collaborate, so at Qwasar you collaborate. At work you help out your team members, so at Qwasar you do the same.
There’s a beauty and goodness in giving and receiving help on exercises and software projects. It’s good for you and it’s good for who you help.
“I love peer reviews”
Peer code reviews are one part of how we help each other grow. One of our learners said, “I think I should do more peer reviews. They’re an opportunity to learn. I get to see how someone else has done their algorithms or solution and learn other ways of solving the problem differently than how I did it.”
That kind of community is why people stay, but they also end up learning.
Small Cohorts, Global Reach and United Online.
Qwasar programs exist all around the world. Our online programs are mostly in North America, and we work with partners to implement programs globally. When you join the Qwasar platform, you join a global platform of coders, learners, and mentors.
There’s power in small cohorts but a global online community. In the morning, your cohort might help you solve a problem, and in the afternoon, you might reply to a question on our online chat from someone on the other side of the world.
Small cohorts and a global reach are reflective of the work environment today and of the future of work in a global digital economy.


Contribute, Mentor, and Giveback
Our goal is to continually develop and improve our platform, our programs, and our community. To do so, we need YOU to contribute, to mentor, and to giveback. As a learner, you benefit from help from others in the community, not just program advisors/manager, but also other learners.
We want you to be able to suggest project ideas, submit suggestions for projects, perhaps upgrade an exercise from plain to having a theme such as anti-plastic, climate change, cyberbullying, recycling, mental health, gardening, volcanoes or natural wonders, and more.
