Announcing SoftStack Factory's partnership with Open San Diego

Gain real world experience while helping your community

At SoftStack Factory, we believe technology careers should be accessible to everyone. We solve human problems with technology by connecting community to opportunity. 

We’re taking steps towards these goals by assisting Open San Diego in their mission to collaborate and create a more engaged, efficient, and effective democracy and civic life.

Open San Diego, a chapter of the national, non-partisan Code for America, assists San Diegans who want to collaborate and create a more engaged and efficient democracy.

With this partnership, we are providing an opportunity for young, aspiring developers to gain valuable experience on a real life project. San Diegans of every skill level and background are welcome. Come join in on the fun and help improve our community!

Welcome to our August Intro to Programming class!

Yesterday was the start of our August Intro to Programming class and we had the pleasure to welcome our new students into their programming journey with SoftStack Factory!

For the next four weeks this group of motivated people will learn programming fundamentals using Vanilla Javascript and basic HTML/CSS, work on assessment projects and a final test to move into our 8 week MEAN Stack program. And for the whole way we will be here to help them achieve their goals.

From all of SoftStack Factory: Welcome to your programming journey!
