Our Story
Build to Learn was born from a simple observation: traditional tech education was too expensive, too theoretical, and often disconnected from real-world applications. Our founder, Sarah Johnson, experienced this firsthand while transitioning from a non-tech background to becoming a software engineer at Google.
After years of mentoring aspiring developers and seeing the same struggles repeatedly, Sarah decided to create the learning platform she wished had existed during her own journey. The vision was clear: free, practical, project-based courses that teach skills employers actually need.
Today, Build to Learn continues to evolve based on student feedback and industry needs, but our core mission remains unchanged: making quality tech education accessible to everyone, everywhere.
