The
Mission
Hey there! We're ExCode—the UK's leading student-run coding bootcamp, and we're all about making coding
fun
and
accessible. What began in 2016 as an after-school coding workshop has exploded into a vibrant community
where
university students come together to learn, code, and support each other.
Our mission is straightforward: empower every student to explore the world of programming without
financial
barriers. That's why our Python bootcamp is completely FREE, ensuring that passion and curiosity are all
you
need to join us.
Run entirely by students at the University of Exeter, our bootcamp starts every Tuesday at 7 PM in the
Forum
Auditorium. Each session features a concise half-hour lecture to introduce key concepts, followed by an
hour
of
hands-on coding with friendly teaching assistants.
We choose Python for its beginner-friendly syntax and remarkable versatility—you can build anything from
simple
applications to the backbone of a website. By the end of the program, you'll have developed essential
coding
skills and earned a certificate from the Society to highlight on your CV or LinkedIn.
Whether you're from Exeter or any other university, if you've ever thought about giving coding a shot,
ExCode is
the place to be. Ready to join us and kickstart your coding adventure?

About ExeAI
ExeAI is a specialised initiative born from ExCode, dedicated to advancing education and expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.We noticed a high demand for AI/ML knowledge and recognized that need for a democratisation of the topic—so here we are. At ExeAI, our mission is to help university students gain a deeper understanding of the technologies shaping their world, including tools like ChatGPT. Over the course of four dynamic weeks and a small hackathon, we'll offer interactive lectures designed to make learning engaging and far from boring.
