A Day in the Classroom
It’s 7:30 a.m., and Kelvin Lau is making his daily commute on the bus into the Chicago Loop. It’s quite a different experience for the eight-year Air National Guardsman who left his home in California on a new mission: to attend Code Platoon’s Fullstack Engineering: Immersive program in-person.
It's Never Too Late
Everett Yeckley, an Army Veteran, had over four decades of experience in the military before attending Code Platoon at age 56. “I was always the youngest during my Service,” Everett said. “But then, I found myself the oldest student in my Code Platoon program.”
Frequently Asked Questions About The Fullstack Engineering Programs
Find quick answers to some of the most common questions about the Fullstack Engineering programs.
Do the Fullstack Engineering programs include AI training?
Yes. In both Fullstack Engineering programs, students learn how to:
-
Integrate generative AI into front-end and back-end web applications
-
Use APIs and AI libraries to build features like intelligent search and chatbots
-
Prepare and analyze data to support AI-powered functionality
-
Design, test, and refine prompts and AI workflows
-
Build responsibly using human-centered and ethical AI principles
These skills prepare you to add modern AI capabilities to front-end and back-end development roles.
Can I use the GI Bill® to cover tuition for the Fullstack Engineering programs?
Yes. If you attend the in-person program in Chicago, the GI Bill® covers tuition in full—and you’ll also receive a monthly housing allowance. If you attend remotely, the GI Bill® certificate program reimbursement can be used for tuition. Learn how to use the GI Bill for coding bootcamp.
Are scholarships available for the Fullstack Engineering programs?
Yes. Every accepted student is eligible for Code Platoon’s Pay-What-You-Can Scholarship. We simply ask what you can reasonably pay, and scholarships cover the rest. There are no minimum contributions, hidden requirements, or barriers. Whether you can contribute a little or nothing at all, finances won’t stand in the way of your success.
What is the tuition for the programs?
Tuition is $20,000. The vast majority of our students will use VA benefits or our ‘pay-what-you-can’ scholarships. As a mission-driven nonprofit, Code Platoon is driven to lower financial barriers to accessing our programs.
(Tuition subject to change)
