42 Vienna

Last week was all about coding, connecting, and getting inspired by amazing role models. We loved welcoming new faces exploring web development on our campus!

On Tuesday, our brilliant 42 students Yen, Kamilla, Ildiko, and Viktoria took the stage for a roundtable discussion. Already working in the IT industry, they shared their real journeys and valuable tips for breaking into tech. Then on Thursday, we wrapped up with an empowering session featuring our keynote speaker Yvonne Bauer (President at Women4Cyber Austria) alongside industry role models Sigrid Gramlinger and Myriam Teicher, who spoke about their firsthand experiences in the tech world.

A huge thank you to our speakers and everyone who took their first coding steps with us. You all proved that the future of tech is diverse! 💜

The projects just keep on coming and the creativity at 42 Vienna is off the charts! Give it up for Valentino, Ka Hou, Lukas, and David, who just crushed their final Transcendence project by creating their very own Alpaca game! 🔥

The best part? You can actually play it right now! Head over to https://42alpaca.party/ and see what these legends have built. They combined serious full-stack coding with a lot of fun, and the result is absolutely addictive. 💻✨

Huge shoutout to our absolute coding rockstars Lukas, Sotir, Ildiko, Willem, and Paul! This amazing crew just locked in their final Transcendence project, creating a smooth and powerful booking application that handles reservations like a pro. 📱💻

But there is a massive reason to celebrate today. Their completion means that the entire second cohort has officially conquered the Common Core at 42 Vienna! The whole class made it through the grind together, and we could not be prouder of this collective achievement. 💯🏆

The core phase is done and a blank canvas is waiting for you. Congratulations on this historic day for our campus! 🎉

Give them a massive thumbs up and leave some love in the comments! 🙌

The Technisches Museum Wien was absolutely buzzing, and our booth was packed with people looking to kickstart their future in IT. An absolute highlight was our student Josh speaking on stage as a role model in the inspiration zone! He inspired the crowd by sharing his journey of completely changing his career path from studying law to IT. 🔥

We also want to give a massive shoutout to our incredible students Steffi and Stefan, who spent the day sharing their real-life 42 Vienna experiences with everyone at the booth. Swipe through the pictures to see the team in action! 📸🙌
