The Origin
The School of Code was started by Chris Meah whilst studying for his PhD. With a background in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, he believes technology is a golden opportunity to make the world a more equal, fairer place for everyone. When he finished his studies in AI, he saw a cliff-edge of automation which would impact a lot of people's livelihoods but no route for them to be supported into the tech space. There's historically been a lack of different stories in technology, with the common thread being people discovering it in their childhood... but what about people that weren't coding at 5 years old? How do people who've had careers over decades suddenly transform into being technical talent? Chris set out to solve this problem by creating School of Code.
