2 Institute of Software Systems/Janne Lautamäki Code camp is a short time collaborative learning effort What is a CodeCamp ? 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.

3 Institute of Software Systems/Janne Lautamäki SUN Lively Kernel Code Camp Part of the series of Code Camps arranged by the university consortium (LUT, TUT and HUT) –Each university arranges one code camp for the others The series of Code Camps is a part of activities arranged with the research grant from the Federation of Finnish Technology Industries and its research Foundation for the years –This grant is meant for the development of cooperation between industry and universities

4 Institute of Software Systems/Janne Lautamäki 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

5 Institute of Software Systems/Janne Lautamäki 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 Remember ! No-one is left alone. CodeCamp Spirit ?
