ABOUT US:
Shaken Not Stirred is a company founded in 2019 with the mission to empower future generations by developing and implementing innovative education projects. Our two flagship initiatives are
42 em Portugal and
TUMO Portugal.
42 is one of the world’s leading coding schools, with over 52 campuses across 31 countries. It’s an inclusive school open to anyone, regardless of academic background or professional experience. The school employs a disruptive, peer-to-peer, project-based learning methodology with no classes, no teachers, and no schedules, boasting a 100% employability rate for its students.
42 Lisboa was launched in July 2020 by Shaken Not Stirred and has received almost 60,000 applications since then and +1000 students have passed by. A
second 42 campus opened in Porto in July 2022 with +600 students started. In 2024, Shaken Not Stirred implemented at 42 Porto the
SEA:ME Program - a 1-year Master's-level program in mobility software engineering, developed and owned by the Coding School 42 Wolfsburg in collaboration with industry leaders.
TUMO is a creative technologies center founded in Armenia, now present in over 10 countries. Aimed at young people aged 12 to 18, TUMO complements formal education by offering opportunities to develop skills in areas such as Music, Robotics, Animation, Game Development, Programming, Photography, Cinema, and Graphic Design. Each student follows a personalized learning path based on their progress and interests, guided by learning coaches and experts. The first TUMO center in Portugal opened in Coimbra in September 2023, and the second one in Lisboa in September 2024, each serving 1,500 students. The next one is going to open in Porto in September 2025, with plans for 10 centers nationwide and discussions already underway for expansions to Braga, Évora, and Portimão.
The above initiatives are completely free of charge, made possible by our generous donors and partners. Our mission is to promote upward social mobility and accelerate social growth in Portugal.
