Thinkful does not have any physical classrooms or locations, as all our programs are entirely online. There is no physical campus and you aren’t required to attend any in person events. However, our programs do require a computer with a microphone, speakers, webcam, and high-speed internet access. We do not provide you with a computer, and every student must own or have access to a personal computer with at least 16GB RAM, at least 2.0 GHz processor (GPUs are not a requirement), and at least 256 GB HD. Additionally, the computer must be able to download applications and software; computers like Chromebooks will not work.

For full-time programs, you're required to additionally provide the following equipment at your own cost:
