Recurse Center

The retreats are free, self-directed, and project based. We are currently running all retreats online, though we plan to reopen our space in New York City when it's safe to do so. Because we're currently operating online, you can do a batch of RC from wherever you are! So far people have attended Virtual RC from all over the U.S., Canada, Ghana, the UK, Israel, Russia, Spain, Germany, China, India, Taiwan, and Japan. You attend RC as part of a group of people, called a batch. Batches start every six weeks, and you can attend RC for either one, six or 12 weeks. When you do a batch of RC, you spend your time working at the edge of your programming abilities in a rigorous, supportive, and friendly environment. RC is for people of all ages and experience levels. While you need to know how to program to attend RC, we've had Recursers attend with as little as six months of programming experience and as much as 30 years of professional programming experience. Our goal is for RC to be an environment where you can thrive, push yourself, and do great work. RC is self-directed and built to give you as much control over your education as possible. We don't have teachers or a curriculum, and there's very little required structure. While here, you'll pick the projects you work on, the people you work with, and you'll create or opt into the structure you need to do your best work. Recursers working in the space
