Open to anyone who is underrepresented in tech, CodeSpa gives VR newbies a solid grounding in the basics of VR development, and offers VR veterans opportunities to hone their skills and develop portfolio projects.
Best of all, CodeSpa balances structured learning with space for creative exploration, authentic connections, and self-care. Start your days with yoga (or sleep in!), enjoy delicious vegetarian food at every meal, and take breaks for meditating, running, hiking, soaking in the hot tub, or relaxing with a massage. Gaze at the stars every night, and emerge refreshed and inspired to be a part of shaping a challenging, innovative, and constantly evolving new field.
Our venue is the beautiful Mount Madonna Center, nestled among redwoods atop the majestic Santa Cruz mountains.
