[TECH ED] 🫱🏽‍🫲🏿 Mentored pair programming

[Dedekind561]

Pick one piece of programming you're doing (we recommend a codewars kata) and pair up with a volunteer to work on it together.

See the mentored pair programming guide for guidance.

Book time with a volunteer using one of the Scheduling links in the #cyf-pair-programming slack channel's canvas. If there are no available times, please post in #cyf-pair-programming.

Remember, as a learner, you will need to explain your thought process, plan out what to do, write the code and check it works

Why are we doing this?

Pair programming is an excellent way to develop programming and communication skills. It is often much easier to work through something when working on something 1-to-1. It is also helps our learners to prepare for technical interviews when they'll need to code in front of other people.

Acceptance criteria

• You have pair programmed on a piece of programming with a volunteer for at least one hour this sprint.
