Build real products with real teams

Lambda simulates the type of environment you'll work in when you land that job. Every month you'll collaborate with other students on a group project, and at the end of the program you'll build a real product with a team of students from other tracks.

Rigorous structure that works

Every week at Lambda follows a specific agenda designed for you to pick up new skills quickly. Individual progress assessment is built into every corner of our digital program allowing students to repeat content until mastery has been demonstrated.
