The Collab Lab is…
- Collaborative group project practice
- A place to work alongside your peers in a fully remote setting
- An opportunity to learn from experienced developers
- Volunteer run and free for participants
Collab Lab gave me agile team experience I didn’t get through my coding bootcamp. I honestly don’t think I would have landed that first job offer without being able to talk about my experience with pair programming and resolving merge conflicts. Beyond that, I made some great friends!~Caitlyn Greffly, Associate Software Engineer at Zapproved

- Team size:
- 4 developers
- Project duration:
- 40 hours per developer (5 hours/week over 8 weeks)
Join us!
Successful Collab Lab participants come in having already learned basic web development and programming concepts. We don’t teach coding; we teach collaboration! You don’t need a ton of experience, but you should have completed the equivalent of a coding bootcamp where you’ve learned (at a minimum) basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and have completed a project or two in React.
Learn more about applying to participate in a Collab Lab cohort.
Note: We currently are only running cohorts in North American time zones. We hope to expand to Europe/Africa in late 2020. If you’re in another part of the world, we encourage you to apply, but know that it could be several months before we’re able to run a cohort in your part of the world.
Our eleventh and twelfth cohorts will kick off on October 4, 2020. Applications will be open from September 6 – 12 and applicants will be notified of their status the following week.
Our mentors are professional web developers and engineering leaders. Project or product management skills are helpful, though not strictly required. Mentors work in pairs to guide cohorts and we do our best to ensure complimentary skills among the mentors on the team.
