Programming campus

Urduliz (Bizkaia) is the fourth municipality to join the 42 pioneering pedagogical models based on peer learning and gamification. Candidates wishing to register must go to www.42urduliz.com, fill in the basic details and take two online tests. Access to 42 requires no training and prior qualifications.

Basic data must be completed and then two online tests: a 10-minute memory exercise and a 2-hour logical-mathematical thinking test. This is the first phase of the tests required to enter the new campus. It will open its doors in the first half of 2021 at the Urduliz Tower in Bizkaia. The space has five floors and 2,400 m2, and space for 600 students. If so, it will help train employees in today’s digital professions.

After passing the online tests, candidates must pay attention to the “pool” calls (until the registration places are filled). This last test is the hardest and most rigorous. It assesses the real chances of the candidates to get a permanent place in 42 Urduliz. To do so, they will have to complete a total of 13 projects in 26 days, and will spend an average of 10-12 hours a day at the academy. During this period, candidates will be confronted with what will be similar to their daily routine at 42, a philosophy that is addressed on campus. They will need to find a way to adapt, deal with ups and downs, and solve new challenges.

The 42 models, which are free, face-to-face and open 24/7, have been successful on more than 20 international campuses. 42 No prior technical knowledge or qualifications are required to be admitted to the Urduliz Academy. Over the age of 18, all that is needed is a desire to learn, an attitude, and perseverance, and an appreciation for the importance of collaborating with others. With this new concept, students learn to learn, and freely choose their path.
