Facebook University for Engineering

We believe that anyone, anywhere can make a positive impact by developing products to make the world more open and connected to the people and things they care about. FBU is a paid eight-week training program designed to provide mobile development experience to students who are historically under-represented in computer science.
The eight-weeks is broken down by two weeks of mobile development training in either iOS or Android, followed by six-weeks of hands-on project experience in a small team setting. Throughout the duration of the program you’ll be paired with an engineering mentor who will help guide you along the way.
