Getting Started
Joining & Membership
Not at all. NextGen Builders is for everyone — students, professionals, founders, creators, and educators. Our pathways start from absolute beginner and go all the way to advanced.
Many of our foundational courses are completely free. Premium courses and Build Labs are included with Builder and Builder Pro memberships, starting at $19/month.
Our core programmes are designed for ages 16–35, but we have youth-focused pathways for younger innovators and leadership tracks for experienced professionals.
Not yet — the site is fully mobile-responsive and works great in your phone's browser. A dedicated app is on our roadmap.
Build Labs & Academy
Learning & Building
Most sprints run 5–10 days, with daily structured sessions. Exact length depends on the track — check the specific cohort listing under Events.
Some chapters provide shared kits; for others you'll need a basic starter kit, listed on the specific track page before you apply.
Yes — Academy courses are always available to revisit. Build Labs sprints can be retaken in a future cohort at member discretion, space permitting.
Chapters & Community
Local Chapters
Yes! We're actively expanding. If your city isn't listed yet, apply via the Chapters page and we'll reach out when there's enough momentum to launch.
No — one membership gives you access to your local chapter and the entire global community, events, and resources.
