Established in France, a new type of IT technician training institute that allows you to study computer programming at no cost and is expanding abroad has opened in Tokyo for the first time in Japan.
This IT engineer training institution called "42" is characterized by learning programming techniques while solving problems by itself, without regular classes.It was established in France seven years ago, It has been established in 16 countries around the world, including the United States and South Korea.
The tuition fee is free, and if you are 18 years or older you can be selected even if you do not have any programming knowledge.
This time, 187 people passed the selection process, and on the 22nd, at the campus in Minato-ku, Tokyo, we immediately tackled the problem, including those who participated online to prevent the new coronavirus.
The challenge is to learn technologies such as information security and data science by having each person use the Internet to investigate and consult with each other while learning.
A 20-year-old student who visited the campus said, "I didn't have any experience in programming until last year. I would like to use the techniques I learned here in the field of future education."
Bunjiro Hasegawa, Secretary General of "42 Tokyo," said, "I don't care about my academic background or career, and I don't have to pay the tuition fee, so I want many people to study."
