Energiser

Every session begins with an energiser. Usually there’s a rota showing who will lead the energiser. We have some favourite games you can play if you are stuck.

  1. Traffic Jam: re-order the cars to unblock yourself
  2. Telephone: draw the words and write the pictures
  3. Popcorn show and tell: popcorn around the room and show one nearby object or something in your pocket or bag and explain what it means to you.

🔗 City Guide Pair Programming

Node Challenge - London Mini-Guide

In this challenge you are going to build a full stack application (server & client) that shows the number of hospitals, doctors, pharmacies and colleges in some of London’s boroughs.

This exercise is designed to develop your pair programming skills and to get you thinking about how to design a full stack application. You’re not expected to get everything completed.

Server

The Server Challenge

Client

The Client Challenge

Time to Complete

This challenge has three levels. Budget one hour to complete the first level. If you have more time, do more levels.

Instructions

Split into groups of two or three people.

One person will start as the driver (typing the code) and the others will begin as the navigators.

You must complete the first level before moving on to the second level. Do not jump around.

Begin with the server challenge.

Community Lunch

Every Saturday we cook and eat together. We share our food and our stories. We learn about each other and the world. We build community.

This is everyone’s responsibility, so help with what is needed to make this happen, for example, organising the food, setting up the table, washing up, tidying up, etc. You can do something different every week. You don’t need to be constantly responsible for the same task.

Study Group

Learning Objectives

Trainees

This is time for you to get help with whatever you need help with.

If you didn’t understand something in the prep, ask about it.

If you were struggling with a backlog exercise, get help with it.

If you weren’t quite sure of something in a workshop, discuss it.

If you don’t have any problems, keep working through the backlog until you need help.

It can be useful to get into groups with others facing the same problem, or working on the same backlog item.

Volunteers

Don’t be scared to approach people and ask what they’re working on - see if you can help them out, or stretch their understanding.

If lots of people have the same problems, maybe you can put together a demonstration or a workshop to help them understand.

If absolutely no one needs help, consider reviewing some PRs using the process and guidelines in the #cyf-code-review-team Slack channel canvas.

Breaks

No one can work solidly forever! Make sure to take breaks when you need.

Afternoon Break

Please feel comfortable and welcome to pray at this time if this is part of your religion.

If you are breastfeeding and would like a private space, please let us know.

Set up Render

Learning Objectives

Let’s try out using Render to host our Node.js application. There are many platforms that you can use to host your Node.js application, but we’re using Render right now because it’s free. If your cohort has found a better option, please use that, and contribute your setup guide back to the curriculum.

🕹️Set up Render

  1. Fork https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/CYF-React-Express-Template
  2. Create an account with Render and choose GitHub as your auth.
  3. Create a new Web Service and choose Build and deploy from a Git repository
  4. Connect your forked repo to Render
