++ Founded in 2019 in Austin, Texas, Dev Launchers began as a + Saturday program teaching coding and game development to local + teenagers. What started as a small group of passionate volunteers + at the Austin Central Library has grown into a global community of + developers, designers, and technology enthusiasts. When the world + shifted in 2020, so did we – transitioning to a fully online + platform that opened our doors to members worldwide. This pivot + allowed us to expand our mission beyond geographical boundaries + and age restrictions, creating a truly inclusive space for anyone + interested in technology. Today, Dev Launchers operates with 6 + dedicated teams and over 50 active members across the globe, from + the United States to Australia, united by our mission to + democratize access to technology careers and launch our members to + the next level in their careers through experience and community. +
++ We're developing a platform to foster new projects, where ideas + come to life through collaboration and shared learning. Our + members work on real-world projects, gaining practical + experience in software development, design, and project + management. +
++ We build professional networks and forge friendships across the + globe. Our community spans multiple continents, bringing + together diverse perspectives and experiences. We believe great + accomplishments come from teamwork. +
++ We mentor new members, encourage leadership development, and + expand our community. Learning from mistakes is part of our + journey, and we celebrate both the successes and the learning + opportunities along the way. +

We foster deep connections + and emphasize teamwork, knowing that our greatest achievements + come from working together. Our community is built on the + foundation of mutual support, where asking for help is celebrated + and every success is shared. +
++ Excitement drives engagement and fuels learning. When you're + genuinely excited about what you're creating, learning happens + naturally. We create an environment where curiosity is + celebrated and enthusiasm is contagious. +
++ Success isn't about being the smartest or the most talented – + it's about showing up every day with purpose and dedication. We + approach challenges methodically, knowing that persistent, + intentional effort leads to breakthrough solutions. +
++ In our community, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, + not weakness. Strong connections form the foundation of + effective learning and innovation. We celebrate collaboration + and understand that our diverse perspectives make us stronger + together. +
++ Progress isn't always linear, and success looks different for + everyone. We encourage thoughtful self-assessment and believe in + setting meaningful, personal benchmarks for growth. Through + iterative development, we build both our projects and ourselves. +
++ Individual achievements are team victories. We foster an + environment where success is shared and celebrated collectively. + Respect isn't just an ideal – it's woven into how we collaborate + and support each other every day. +
++ Leadership isn't about titles; it's about taking initiative and + responsibility. Whether you're mentoring others, leading a + project, or suggesting improvements, we encourage everyone to + step into leadership roles and make positive changes. +
