What is a CodeCamp ?

• Code camp is a short time collaborative learning
  effort

The term camp refers to a situation where
participants get together and live a while
together. The term code refers to coding, i.e.
writing programs. During a code camp,
participants write programs together, solve
problems related to their work together, eat
together and even might relax together in a
sauna. The intensive time together gives the
opportunity to work on ideas without
interruptions from other (school) tasks and
promotes the possibility to interact with other
people working on the same situation. In essence,
the code camp is a short term, intensive and
cooperative approach for collaborative
learning-by-doing of programming skills. By
emphasizing the social aspects, learning can be
done in more meaningful way. As the camps are
usually very intensive, many participants refer
to them as experiences.

CodeCamp Goals

• To make programming FUN and to experience THE JOY
  of programming and to learn new things
• Get an idea and implement that with the selected
  technology
• Originality of the idea is important as well as
  implementation
• Do not try to solve too difficult problems
• Have fun and work together

CodeCamp Spirit ?

• The teams will spend time together, whether it is
  a week-long code camp or one day (24h)
• Code Camp Spirit means also that you help others
  within the team AND especially people that are
  not in your group
• Work together by asking and helping
• In the beginning check also what other groups are
  doing
