We’ll pick a challenge, and then split into<br>teams and try to come up with interesting solutions. Afterwards we’ll<br>compare, contrast and review. And go to the pub.<br><br>Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a Ruby novice or expert, and the<br>beer is
most definitely on us. It’ll be fun, and you’ll keep your<br>brain sharp.<br><br>At the same time, we’ll be running DoJunior, where kids pair up with<br>developers and build awesome web apps. The world needs more coders,<br>and our schools aren’t teaching the real stuff. We’re working with<br>local youth organisations to make sure we reach kids who wouldn’t<br>otherwise have the funds, contacts or confidence to get this<br>opportunity.<br><br>Anyone who wants to help mentor and teach the next generation of<br>hackers should get in touch with us, or just rock up to our studio<br>Thursday at 6pm.<br><br>There won't be any kids this week, just the dojo and a chance for<br>anyone interested in DoJunior to find out more and get involved.<br><br>We’re right next to Old Street Station:<br><br>Sidekick Studios<br>Third Floor, Fergusson House, 124-128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NJ<br><a href="http://g.co/maps/b7ena"
