The Rolling Scopes

The Rolling Scopes is an independent international community of developers (mainly JavaScript / Front-end / iOS / Android), organized in 2013. Currently, many developers around the world know that we participate in our events and activities.

What is RS School?

These are free Front-end, JavaScript, iOS, and Android programming courses run by The Rolling Scopes community. Anyone can study at RS School, regardless of age, employment, or location. Developers from various companies and countries contribute to the training. The course is fully online, making quality education accessible worldwide. Each year, a new cohort of more than 2,000 students joins the program. Guiding them are our mentors—our "iron" people—who volunteer their time to teach and support students for free. With over 250 dedicated mentors, RS School creates a strong, collaborative learning environment. RS School welcomes learners from any country. Learn more about the school here: https://rs.school/

Free-of-charge learning

At RS School the principle of "Pay it forward" works. We share our knowledge with students for free now, hoping that in the future they will return to us as mentors and pass on their knowledge to the next generation of students in the same way.

Support community

Due to the fact that The Rolling Scopes is a non-profit community of developers who, day and night, will copy their strengths and knowledge into it for free and in their free time, we started a “piggy bank” for different RS needs.
