This expansion isn\u2019t just about growing the numbers \u2013 it\u2019s about creating an international network of coding schools that foster collaboration and innovation across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">Both kood\/J\u00f5hvi and kood\/Sisu are more than just coding schools. They are hubs for future software developers who come from diverse backgrounds \u2013 whether you\u2019re fresh out of school or a professional from fields as varied as medicine or hospitality. Our model is built on self-study and peer-to-peer learning, designed to equip you with critical coding skills through real-world tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">As far as we\u2019re concerned, diversity is a key driver of innovation. With students from 33 different nationalities and a significant mix of genders and ages, our community is vibrant and dynamic. As&nbsp;<strong>Laura Nyk\u00e4nen<\/strong>, head of kood\/Sisu, puts it:&nbsp;<em>\u201cThe more diverse a group of people with various backgrounds who speak the language of programming in the future, the richer and more impactful digital services and products we can produce in the future. Coding is a language like any other; Finnish and English are constantly diversifying and evolving, and anyone can learn to speak them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0526-1-1160x870.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0526-1-1160x870.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0526-1-173x130.jpeg 173w, https:\/\/kood.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_0526-1-53x40.jpeg 53w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Lauri Haav working in front of the entrance to kood\/Sisu.
