Austen Allred (@austenallred, TW) believes higher education has it all backward. Students shouldn't be investing in the school, the school should be investing in the students. With that core belief, he co-founded Lambda School to pioneer a new model for higher education and find untapped or underutilized talent and train them for the most in-demand jobs in the world: computer science. Lambda School strives to make entry into the computer science fields more accessible than ever.

Allred is a prolific author, speaker, and YCombinator S17 alum. Prior to co-founding Lambda School he oversaw growth at LendUp, co-founded Grasswire, and lead social at Fit Marketing (now STRYDE).

In this conversation, Austen and Blake dive into

• How Lambda School actually works.
• What this model might mean for traditional higher education institutions
• What real estate developers and city planners need to be thinking about when considering how to accommodate students and graduates of institutions like Lambda School.
