Applications will be read on a rolling basis. The decision will be made within a week of your submission. The earlier you apply, the earlier you will see the decision.

• 10am-11:30am - interactive video lecture + Q&A with one of the mentors
• Most of the day will be spent working on the product
• 2-4pm - individual office hours with mentors
• 6-7pm - Group video call to wrap up the day. Rewarding yourself for a productive day with fun group activities. Playing board games online (Zynga Poker, Cards Against Humanity, etc.). Video game nights. True confessions. Movie nights. Karaoke nights. Socializing online over non-alcoholic drinks :D

We will help you pick an idea even before the program starts. To find an app idea which is perfect for you, we will make a ton of reading, conduct dozens of group brainstorm sessions, group presentations, etc..

1999 USD for a part-time program. 2499 USD for a full-time program.

Unfortunately we don't offer any grants at this point. If you can't afford it, try fundraising using https://www.gofundme.com/start/education-fundraising

No, the program is fully remote.

Absolutely! That's the only way to participate in the program.

We expect you to have strong CS fundamentals before the program. Our 3-week iOS/Android/React module is fast-paced and designed for people with prior programming experience.

Yes. It can be either PC or Mac with your favorite IDE and programming environment setup.

40 hours for a full-time program, 20 hours for a part-time program. Saturday and Sunday are days off for full-time students. We will hold sessions for part-time students on Saturdays if needed.

You can participate in our part-time program. We will be recording all our group calls, lectures from mentors and guest speakers so you can watch them (at 2x speed) when it's convenient. We suggest that you participate in at least one group call a day (either morning or evening one). If our regular workday office hours won't fit your schedule, we will hold office hours on Saturdays as well.

No. We recommend you to complete one Intro to CS course before applying. 3 possible options: Stanford's CS106A, Harvard's CS50, or Princeton's COS126.‍

We are ready to accept 50 students in this batch.

We will have at least 10:1 student to mentors ratio.

Not really, but we're expecting this program to be of interest to developers from 16 to 35 yo.

When we think of a single company symbolizing the fusion of creativity, storytelling and technology, we think Pixar. Hence, the choice of a picture!

By the end of the program, you will have a live application on the web, App Store or Play Market. Apart from that, you will have a repeatable process to conceive original app ideas, design, execute and promote them.

You can watch recordings of our sessions and participate in our online forum discussions. We will also host live sessions and office hours on Saturday.

Excellent question. You’re paying for: 1) interactive video lectures on development/design/growth/idea generation (see the curriculum above); 2) regular code reviews from experienced mentors; 3) individual office hours with mentors; 4) daily group sessions - project demos, poker nights, guest lectures, tournaments, resume refactoring, etc. Ultimately, the participant is paying for the fact that our program transforms a student without mobile/web experience and any individual projects into a developer with a live product. 

There will be definitely a selection process. It took us a lot of effort and 5 years to build nFactorial brand, and we won’t compromise it for short-term profits. We make application decisions based solely on your past programming experience. You can pay for the program only if you were admitted. 

Nope, solo, not in teams. Our goal is to prepare autonomous developers who can 10x any team they join later in their career. 

We will help you break your big idea into complete sub-ideas which can be launched in time.

Yes. Your nFactorial tuition doesn’t cover your personal additional expenses: service subscriptions, Internet, laptop, etc. 

The most important criterion for us is your past programming experience. Everything else is secondary.
