About

A new idea of education

42 Initiative is an independent coding school based in Astana, built on the pedagogy of the global 42 network born in Paris in 2013.

Our mission

We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. 42 Initiative opens the doors of the digital world to anyone with the will to learn — without financial barriers and without conditions of degree or background.

By bringing the principles that made the 42 network successful in more than 50 campuses worldwide, we aim to train a new generation of autonomous, creative and collaborative software engineers in Kazakhstan and Central Asia.

Our values

  • Free — education in tech should be a right, not a privilege.
  • Inclusive — open regardless of age, origin or background. Only motivation matters.
  • Autonomous — you learn how to learn, a skill that lasts a lifetime.
  • Collaborative — success is collective; we grow by helping others.

The 42 network

A worldwide movement

Founded in Paris in 2013, 42 has become the world's largest community of free, inclusive and disruptive coding schools. Its pedagogy — without lectures or teachers — has spread across every continent. 42 Initiative carries this legacy to Central Asia.
