Elite Software
Development Track
A four-year pathway inspired by the world’s most selective tech training – adapted for K-12. Students graduate writing production code and thinking like engineers.
98% graduate into CS majors or tech internships
WHAT IS MAMRAM
Not a Coding Camp. An Engineering Apprenticeship.
Mamram is Leaders App’s flagship four-year software development pathway, modeled after the world’s most competitive tech training programs and adapted for K-12 students. Where most coding programs stop at block-based games and one-off projects, Mamram builds real engineers.
Students learn Python, JavaScript, and C. They study data structures, version control, system design, and how real software teams work. By graduation, they’ve shipped over 20 portfolio projects, contributed to open-source code, and built the habits of professional engineers.
The program runs in partner schools as a dedicated track and online as a flagship cohort. Admission is open, but Mamram is intentionally rigorous – students who finish know they earned it.

Where Mamram Graduates Go
ALUMNI
Mamram Graduates in Their Own Words
★★★★★
I walked into my first internship interview and the engineers couldn’t believe I was 17. Mamram gave me the confidence and skills to compete with college juniors.

Mamram · Class of 2024
★★★★★
Four years of Mamram taught me more about engineering than my first year of college did. I started CS as the student professors already knew by name.

★★★★★
Mamram is where I discovered I wanted to be a software engineer. My portfolio got me an offer before I even graduated high school.

FAQ
Mamram Questions
None. Year 1 starts from zero with Python fundamentals. If your student is motivated, they’ll succeed.
Typically 3–4 hours of class time plus 2–3 hours of project work. It’s a serious commitment – comparable to a competitive sport or instrument.
Yes. We offer placement assessments and accelerated onboarding for motivated students joining after Year 1. Most transfers succeed with 4–8 weeks of focused catch-up.
You can pause or exit between years with no penalty. About 85% of students who start Year 1 complete all four years.
Both. Online cohorts run live with small groups. In-person Mamram is offered in 200+ partner schools internationally.
92% go on to CS or engineering majors. Many land paid internships by Grade 12, and several have been offered full-time roles before college.
