July 2026 Piscine

There’s no beach at our coding campus… but there is a Piscine.

When July rolls around, some people think of parasols, flip-flops and sand. And then there are those who decide to spend the summer in a slightly different way: discovering the world of coding and a methodology that really puts you to the test.

From 6 to 31 July, 42 Urduliz Bizkaia is hosting a new edition of the Piscine, our selection process. A 26-day challenge in which participants immerse themselves in the world of programming, problem-solving and collaborative learning.

And no, you don’t need to know how to code to take part – you just need to be aged 18 or over.

In fact, one of the things that makes ‘La Piscina’ special is that it brings together people from very different backgrounds: students, professionals, people looking for new opportunities, or simply those who are curious and keen to learn something new. The only essential requirement is a willingness to take on challenges, learn and not give up at the first hurdle.

Here you won’t find traditional lessons, teachers or standard exams. You’ll find projects, teamwork, camaraderie and a methodology that forces you to think, seek solutions and learn by doing.

For almost a month, you’ll embark on an intense, challenging and transformative experience. Some will discover a passion they never knew they had. Others will find a new way of learning. And some will go on to become students at the campus.

Because the Piscine isn’t just an entrance exam; it’s an opportunity to find out whether coding and programming are for you.
