MakerSquare School of Software Engineering Launches New York City Campus

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The MakerSquare School of Software Engineering officially announced today the launch of a new campus in New York City. MakerSquare has worked tirelessly to craft over 500 exceptional software engineers in Austin, San Francisco and Los Angeles with a job placement rate of 96%. Over that time, alumni have gone on to work for some of the most prestigious organizations in the world like NASA, Google, Facebook and Apple. Applications are now open for their May 31 cohort in New York City.

"We are tearing down the once-giant barriers of money and prior education, to bring capable people into tech," says MakerSquare co-founder Shezhan Devani. Leveraging the Reactor Core Network, MakerSquare will teach full-stack JavaScript with a focus on preparing software engineers for successful careers in NYC's burgeoning tech industry. Kyle Simpson, JavaScript expert, author, and speaker known as Getify online, is the Head of Curriculum for MakerSquare and continues to upgrade the curriculum with iterations focused on preparing students for careers as highly-successful software engineers.

MakerSquare was recently featured as Leading the Bootcamp Revolution in Streetwise's Austin Innovations in which co-founder Harsh Patel stated, "We have nearly 300 companies in our hiring network from Reactor Core. So, these are like warm leads we have for our students." Reactor Core and MakerSquare have been able to amass their invaluable network of hiring partners as a result of the tech industry's need for talented software engineers. "In 2012, there was a direct need for more skilled software engineers ... and this need will continue to grow.  We started MakerSquare because we believe that the skills one needs to be a successful software engineer don't have to come from a traditional university," says Patel.

"MakerSquare is an incredible pipeline to tech jobs," says Hack Reactor Co-founder Shawn Drost. "They're expanding to reach more students, opening their doors to varying skill levels and will continue to establish strong partnerships with leaders in the tech space."

In addition to its immersive course, MakerSquare offers MakerPrep, an introduction to JavaScript that prepares beginners for the immersive course's technical interview. MakerPrep class fees can be used toward tuition in the immersive program. MakerPrep's April 4 NYC course is now accepting enrollments as well.
