----
#### What's a coding dojo
> A Coding Dojo is a meeting where a bunch of coders get together to work on a programming challenge. They are there to have fun and to engage in [deliberate practice](http://codingdojo.org/DeliberatePractice) in order to improve their skills.
<center><small>http://codingdojo.org/WhatIsCodingDojo/</small></center>
----
#### How (workflow)
* a subject
* one laptop
* one timer
* 5min/turn to progress on the subject
----
## EPFL Dojos
* Dojo for apprentices (trainees)
* Dojo for developers (advanced)
<br />
<br />
One hour each, once a week (Friday).
----
#### Pros
* Technology tourism
* Cover a lot of subjects/languages
* Networking
* Community (chats / help)
* Learn how others people deal with things
----
#### Cons
###### *“None, but we never finish anyt...”*
(Dojos are not a producing plateform, more a meetup/incubator/innovation/learning lab)
----
#### Example — Kata Arrow
Draw an arrow in the terminal according to the user input:
```
input = 4
*
* *
* *
*******
*
*
*
*
```
----
#### Benefits of the arrow Kata
* Doable in one hour
* Easy concept, constent logic, good to discover new languages
* Already done in 15 languages:
`clojure`, `dart`, `go`, `haskel`, `javascript`, `kotlin`, `lua`, `nim`, `perl`, `php`, `python`, `racket`, `ruby`, `rust`, `swift`

## “Enjoy to move outside your comfort zone”
----
## “Train on personal project”
→ The best way to get something done is to begin
----
# “Sharing is caring”
→ The learning-by-teaching effect has been demonstrated in [many studies](https://digest.bps.org.uk/2018/05/04/learning-by-teaching-others-is-extremely-effective-a-new-study-tested-a-key-reason-why/). #ProtégéEffect
----
## Ego?
→ There's always someone better than you - ask for help and guidance
----
## “It's OK to make mistakeS”
→ You don't learn much by doing everything right...
----
## Stackoverflow
* Get help
* Give help
* <span class="more">make reputation</span>
