Python Dojo

A coding dojo is a safe place to deliberately practice and develop your coding skills, and perhaps learn something new too.

We brainstorm ideas for problems to solve (20 minutes), choosing one by popular, if complicated, vote, and then break into teams for an hour and a half of furious coding. To wrap the event up each team does a “show and tell”. The total duration should be around 2-3 hours.

Here’s a presentation given at Europython 2011 that explains things further. And a blog post: How to Run an Awesome Code Dojo. And some more blog posts.
