Hack Reactor

Hack Reactor is a network of programming and Computer Science schools, focused on accelerated learning and rapid-iteration. Hack Reactor's principles are 1) data-driven education and 2) empowering people.

History Hack Reactor started as a single school in San Francisco. The school was founded by three software engineers and one education administrator.

Rapid-Iteration Education Hack Reactor's curriculum and internal processes are subjected constantly to the process of rapid-iteration. Inefficiencies, bottlenecks and other sub-optimal practices are altered and refactored immediately.

Outcome statistics According to self-reported statistics, 99% of job-seeking graduates receive offers within three months of graduation, and the top offer for each student averages $105,000. This does not include students who choose not to seek employment after the program, or students who eschew the job search to enter Hack Reactor's post-graduate apprenticeship program. After completion of the apprenticeship program, these students are recorded as graduates.

Curriculum Hack Reactor focuses on JavaScript and numerous related technologies, such as Angular and Node. The program is divided into two-day "sprints" focused on a specific technology and longer group projects, in which students conceive of and build an app, framework, tool, etc.
