• Go to our new Slack discussion platform at https://lut-codecamps.slack.com ! It's very useful.

Programming experience(I hope you all have some…if not..then you'll have one during this code camp) and of course learning INTEREST is the most.

Yes. During code camp week we will brainstorm a software idea, design it and code it. Getting good ideas might sometimes be hard and thinking about different ideas before code camp makes it faster to get into coding part.

You are free to go exam, but code camp in intensive course and idea is to focus coding during the well, so it is recommended you prepare to exam before the code camp week.

Grading 1-5 from

• Idea and presentation of the Idea in wiki: 25%
• Coding of the implementation: 25%
• Presentation: 10%
• Code Camp Spirit: 20%
• Code camp report 20%

If you have questions about code camp send email to Rasmus Halsas or Antti Knutas (firstname.lastname@lut.fi).

Code Camp is a learning and hacking experience. The code camp approach can be defined as a collaborative learning setting that aims to promote profession-oriented skills. In code camp, the term camp refers to a situation where students assemble and stay a while together. The term code refers to coding, i.e. writing computer programs.
