Scrimba
Our goal is to create the best possible coding school at the cost of a gym membership. If we succeed with this, it will give anyone who wants to become a software developer a realistic shot at succeeding. Regardless of where they live and the size of their wallets.
To achieve this, we have created a new video format for code screencasts. We call it “scrims”. This format is the backbone of our school. Not only because it results in a superior learning experience. But also because it enables us to iterate more quickly, to attract better teachers, to facilitate better peer-learning, to keep server costs low, and much more.

Our Unique Technology
At the core of Scrimba lies our interactive coding screencast technology. We call them scrims.
In short, a scrim lets the student interact with the teacher's code directly inside the screencast. This enables a whole new way of teaching, where instructors pre-record scrims that feel like pair-programming sessions for the students.
We are convinced that the scrim technology is a must-have in order to create a school that can turn newbies into professional developers at the price of a gym membership, so we will invest heavily in the scrim technology in the coming years.
Changing Lives!
-
I worked as a cleaner at a cruise ship when covid hit, and crushed the industry. So in July 2020, I started learning to code on Scrimba. Five months later, I got a job as a remote web developer for a SF-based startup. Scrimba has changed my life!
