WeThinkCode has launched a coding challenge titled \u201c<br> the Code\u201d, which challenges talented South Africans to decrypt an encoded message [See: WeThinkCode Facebook page<\/strong><\/a>].<\/p>\n

WeThinkCode is a peer-to-peer tech institution which was launched in Johannesburg in 2016, dedicated to transforming technology education to address the IT skills shortage in SA.<\/p>\n

In partnership with Ecole 42 in France, WeThinkCode trains software engineers in a problem-solving environment over a period of two years.<\/p>\n

The programme is free and open to candidates aged 17 to 35 \u2013 regardless of education, socio-economic background, or financial means.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn May 2017, WeThinkCode will welcome 200 new students to join our tuition-free course in software engineering,\u201d said WeThinkCode founder Camille Agon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking for great problem solvers from all backgrounds, between 17 to 35.”<\/p>\n

If these problems\u00a0are too difficult, you can always try the online tests at WeThinkCode<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

WeThinkCode “<br> the Code”<\/h3>\n

The WeThinkCode “<br> the Code” challenge has three problems, with\u00a0each challenge giving you a clue to solve the next one.<\/p>\n

The first person to solve the three challenges will be offered a space at the WeThinkCode Bootcamp in April, without having to take the compulsory tests.<\/p>\n

The three WeThinkCode challenges are detailed below.<\/p>\n
