Education done differently
Codam is the opposite to traditional education? Huh? What does that mean…
We value Grit above grades:
We don't care whether you have a diploma or what you did before, we care about whether you have grit.
Creativity above knowledge:
Our model is based on solving real-life challenges. It's less what you know and more about how you find the solution.
Diversity of thought:
Peer-to-peer learning works when different perspectives come together to learn and grow.
