We use Agile techniques such as pair programming\, randoris\, short iterations\, re-factoring &\; test-driven development in teach ing. Pair instructors model Agile practices while teaching. Learn how to teach technical processes using Agile techniques. Although we’ve mostly used our method with children\, we have also successfully taught adults using similar methodologies. \;\n \;\nNote: on Tue 18 March there is a version of this event for kids to try it out along with their peer s and parents: http://calagator.org/events/1250465864 \;\n \;\nNot e: There will be hands-on sections of this presentation.
