Codebase builds software for high-growth tech companies and nonprofits, pairing students with real industry clients each semester. Members join either a Client Track (working on projects like ML models or full-stack apps for companies like Amazon and Sony PlayStation) or a Mentored Track (learning React, Node, and GraphQL while building a nonprofit web app from scratch). Both tracks run 12-15 weeks using agile development, with weekly standups and mid-semester and final deliverables.
