How Turing College began
In this video, Turing College’s founders tell how wanting to learn to code led them to start a college. Their first project was a partnership with Harvard University that brought Harvard courses to Lithuanian high schools.
They talk about the hardest early decisions, from finding a business model to turning down a multi-million-dollar contract that didn’t fit their aim of building a high-quality college. They chose to focus on accessible education, and explain why they believe practical skills matter more to your career than a certificate.
