Become a full-stack developer or software engineer this summer at NextGen Bootcamp’s summer camps in New York. Our courses are tailored for high school and gap year students looking to learn web development, data science, and computer programming.
NextGen provides engaging summer courses that are tailor-made for high school and gap year students looking to explore the world of computer science and programming. We've taken the expertise that we've gained from training over 40,000 students and applied it to designing, testing, and continually developing state-of-the-art courses that cover beginning to advanced topics found nowhere else but here!
NextGen leverages our partnership with Noble Desktop, who has trained over 40,000 students and developed over 50 courses in coding and design, to develop our world-class curriculum. All of our programs are activity-based, reflecting our central belief that students learn best by doing.
NextGen's courses are developed by top engineers from renowned organizations including Goldman Sachs, Uber, and Columbia University. Our skilled educators hold advanced degrees in education and have extensive experience with high school students, including teaching at prestigious schools such as Dwight-Englewood, Fieldston, and Dalton.
There is a proven connection between learning programming and improved academic performance, as the problem-solving and computational skills required for programming are easily applicable to everyday situations and a wide range of academic subjects. On top of that, engaging in extra-curricular courses in computer science demonstrates to colleges that an applicant is eager to learn advanced topics and knowledgeable about the modern tech-based skills economy.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
The instructor was a great teacher and allowed us to learn individually as well as share our work in groups to work collaboratively.
This was a great bootcamp, and I learned so much about how to use Excel and its many shortcuts. It was a lot of information, and having to do the work after learning really helped me memorize and add the skill to my bag.

Summer is an important time for high school students to explore their interests and increase their marketable skills. Colleges and employers are always looking for students to show initiative in gaining valuable experience in their topics of interest. Students are often asked to spend most of their time during the school year completing assignments and projects within their school’s core subject areas, leaving little time to learn and practice specialized topics and skills. That’s why the summer is such an incredible opportunity: they can spend their summer learning in a fun, stress-free environment.
NextGen gives students the perfect place to explore their passion for technology in a safe, academic, and highly personalized environment. NextGen teaches many different coding languages, opening the door for students with a wide array of interests to sample a variety of tech roles before finding the perfect fit. Additionally, our curriculum is activity-based and hands-on so that students can learn concepts quickly and become familiar with complex concepts in a short period of time. Here are some more reasons to take our code camps this summer:
Studies show that learning a new language, including computer programming languages, has remarkable cognitive benefits, including increases in processing power, working memory, and attention span. Additionally, programmers’ brains are said to work twice as hard as other writers because writing in code activates both the region of the brain that handles language processing and the region of the brain that controls mathematical reasoning. Finally, according to the National Institutes of Health, learning new coding principles helps to form new neural connections and strengthens existing connections related to logic, problem-solving, and reasoning.
Although students spend their school year sitting in classrooms for several hours a day, they’ve never learned in a classroom quite like this. Our immersive curriculum has students actively working on coding projects all day, starting on day one. Think of this pedagogical method as similar to moving to another country to learn a second language: the complete immersion enables students to learn on a deep, conceptual level more quickly than possible in a lecture-style classroom.
With college acceptance becoming more competitive every year, high school students need to demonstrate their enthusiasm for learning and their commitment to pursuing academic excellence. By completing NextGen’s program, students show colleges that they are aware of the current demands of the job skills market and are serious about taking on rigorous learning opportunities to excel in high school, college, and beyond. Beyond looking great to college admissions boards, students in our courses learn skills to get ahead in high school math and computer science, test out of college courses, and spend more time preparing for whatever they wish to do in the real world.
