About this event

What to expect

Practise Test Driven Development with or without AI at this hands-on Coding Dojo in Cambridge, designed for developers of every experience level.

Hosted by Natalie G. and Isaac O. for Software Crafters Cambridge, this practical October meetup explores TDD as a core software engineering discipline for producing quality code. It takes place from 6:30pm to 8:30pm BST on Tuesday 13 October 2026 at The Bradfield Centre, 184 Cambridge Science Park Road, Cambridge.

What to expect

Following a short introduction, you can work in a pair, join a group or build independently, whichever setup makes you most comfortable. You are also free to use your preferred programming language, so the focus remains on practising the TDD process rather than learning a prescribed technology stack.

During the dojo, participants will:

  • Practise writing software through Test Driven Development
  • Code collaboratively and exchange ideas with other developers
  • Discuss TDD techniques and software engineering best practices
  • Learn from experienced Crafters and fellow community members
  • Explore how AI tooling can support the process without replacing the discipline behind TDD
  • Meet and build connections with Cambridge’s software development community

AI tools are encouraged but not required. TDD stands on its own, and anyone interested in trying an AI-assisted workflow can be paired with somebody who already has suitable tools set up. This makes the session relevant both to developers experimenting with AI coding tools and to those who prefer a traditional development environment.

Who should attend?

The dojo welcomes all experience levels. Complete beginners can get their first practical introduction to TDD, while established developers can refresh their skills, compare approaches and learn from their peers. Bring a laptop if you would like to code, with your preferred language and editor installed and ready to use.
