Codesmith is committed to fostering a close-knit community as much as we are to ensuring that residents receive a top-notch software engineering education. Community traditions include Monday Night Family Dinners (Full-Time Immersive) and Saturday Shout Outs & Snacks (Part-Time Immersive), where residents and team members gather to connect over a meal or snack together, while taking moments to recognize members of their cohort who have gone above and beyond to support them and the broader community over the past week. Residents also engage in a variety of cohort-bonding activities, which can range from Movie Nights and Relay Races to Talent Shows and Karaoke Contests, providing opportunities to get to know and spend time with one another outside of coding. These are just a few opportunities that we provide for our residents to build relationships with one another throughout the program — oftentimes, residents even build upon this, scheduling happy hours and lunchtime activities on their own!
