- Community-Led Beginner Study GroupLink visible for attendees
Join us for our weekly Community-Led Beginner Study Group, where we'll delve into topics like string manipulation, callbacks, functions, and execution context. For recursion, OOP, and general Technical Interview prep we highly recommend joining our Intermediate Study Group on Sundays!
Whether you're new to coding or looking to reinforce your skills, this beginner-centered group is the perfect environment to learn and grow. Getting started working on your technical communication earlier will be invaluable in accelerating your learning journey.
This group was founded by and is led by our Codesmith community members and we are sharing it on our Events Page to help get the word out!
Don't miss out on this opportunity to level up faster in a supportive and fun environment. We hope to see you there!

- Pair Programming SessionLink visible for attendees
Join the Codesmith community for a pair programming session! We'll start the session with an overview of what pair programming is and how to focus on improving your technical communication in the session.
All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged.
Pair programming is central to Codesmith's learning style. If you're looking to prepare for our programs, this session is a great chance to focus on the concepts we test for. We'll also have a mentor available to help you through blocks you may run into! The way we conduct pair programming involves two programmers working together with 1 workstation. One person is the driver, writing the code, and one person is the navigator, talking through the logic.
If this is your first time Pair Programming, we encourage you to review Codesmith’s Guide on How to Technically Communicate - Best Practices!
Note: You will need a functioning camera and microphone to participate. Please join early as you will be paired with a partner in the very beginning of the workshop.
Price: Always free!
Experience Level: All experience levels welcome. We recommend getting started on our free JavaScript learning platform CSX and working on the Precourse unit before the workshop.
This is an interactive workshop and a great opportunity to engage with the Codesmith community, so please come prepared with your camera on and ready to get involved!

- Study Group: IntermediateLink visible for attendees
Join us for a weekend study session led by our CSX Fellow and Codesmith alum, Chris K. This session is designed not only to work through a series of coding challenges but to also enhance your problem solving and technical communication skills, which are vital for excelling in technical interviews.
The art of live coding, particularly under interview conditions, is a skill set in itself. Being able to articulate your thought process technically is a stepping stone towards becoming a well-rounded engineer. In this session you’ll have the chance to solve technical challenges with the support and encouragement of your fellow learners, simulating a real interview process!
We encourage everyone to share their knowledge, questions, and insights. Hope to see you there!
Experience Level: Intermediate. We recommend learners be at or beyond the Callbacks unit of CSX.
