We believe in opportunity based on what you can do, not simply where you studied.

OUR MANIFESTO
The rebellion
Too often, we have seen brilliant self-taught coders & makers, the underdogs, those that can't afford institutional education, get overlooked. Yet they self-taught at 2 in the morning and learned by making mistakes. How many of us have credentials only to find that what we learned is yesterday's tech, spend fortunes and countless hours on studies that are not relevant today, walking out into the world with a piece of paper that is the only hope of a career because it lacks the skills for NOW? We respect credentials in fields like medicine, but in coding? Prove what you can build. Show your skills. That's the real currency.
The rebels
Rebels refuse to be defined by a piece of paper. Rebels care about what they can build, not just what they can claim. Our rebels are self-starters, hands-on, lateral thinkers, and work with the latest tech and creators—people with the hunger to learn, build, and prove themselves in real ways. We, with or without credentials, upskill here, build a portfolio, and SHOW what we can do.
How the rebellion works
Upskill, community, developer portfolio, cutting edge tech and hardware
Everyone starts in Tier 1 and progresses to Tier 4. Even experienced coders! This coding bootcamp alternative helps self-taught developers build their developer portfolio. Here, you'll learn an entirely new approach:
- How to use AI as your coding partner
- The fundamentals of microcontrollers
- Build your first AI-powered IoT project for your GitHub portfolio
- Each Tier = Project + Badge + Full Community Access
See all tiers here.
Why your developer portfolio is everything
Your GitHub portfolio is your proof and your resume
- We help build your developer portfolio - you will have 7 highly advanced projects by Tier 4
- Show what you can do right away - prove coding skills without a degree
- Showcase your skills in the latest technologies
- Each project is fully viewable and verifiable via GitHub portfolio, live views & Rebel Glitch AI manual checks
- Your developer portfolio is published and verified by the rebellion & we market it to headhunters & talent seekers using skill-based hiring tech.
Community is non-negotiable
Support systems are outdated - our crew is part of the community
- Every rebel gets Discord and live webinar access.
- Every rebel gets full Kolab access.
- We are strong together—a network, not a classroom.
- Rebels help and learn from each other.
- Every rebel at Tier 2 and higher gets access to life events, Vibe coding hackathons and underground meetups.
- Tier 2 members get a welcome package sent to them free of charge (Only South Africa for now) that includes a membership card.
Coders with credentials are welcome
Upskill super fast
Many of our rebels already hold degrees or formal credentials—and this movement is the ideal place to upskill. Our program recognises your knowledge and experience.
- If you have credentials, you'll fast-track through the tiers because you already grasp many coding principles.
- Our project-based upskilling focuses on the latest tools, AI-powered coding, and hardware integration—areas where credentials quickly become outdated.
- You get practical, hands-on experience building real projects supported by live webinars and community mentorship.
The era of AI is your advantage
Let AI be your workhorse so you can concentrate on what is important
Upskill microcontroller training, not too long ago, the time it took was long, but then AI got brilliant with coding. Now, using AI as your coding workhorse, you can have a fully operational, Wi-Fi-enabled, remotely accessible (via a web browser) dashboard showing sensor data and allowing you to control things remotely in one week. If you are new, you will get upskilled in basic coding, but here is the kicker: AI agents will teach you more advanced coding as you build your projects.
