Introduction to Ensemble Programming: The Power of Many Mind
\- Kathy Nielsen

Ensemble programming, which is also called mob programming, is emerging as an effective way to take advantage of the power of the many minds it takes to create complex modern software by working all together, at the same time, on the same problem. In this session, let's support each other's active learning by doing it together. We will use cyber-dojo as our collaborative development environment; you can play with it in advance, but I will walk everyone through it in the session, [https://www.cyber-dojo.org/kata/edit/sbwqda](https://www.cyber-dojo.org/kata/edit/sbwqda). Everyone is warmly invited, whether you do or don't have previous coding experience.
