Energiser
Every CYF session begins with an energiser. Usually there’s a rota showing who will lead the energiser. We have some CYF favourite games you can play if you are stuck.
- Traffic Jam: re-order the cars to unblock yourself
- Telephone: draw the words and write the pictures
- Popcorn show and tell: popcorn around the room and show one nearby object or something in your pocket or bag and explain what it means to you.

Instructions
This workshop aims to check your understanding.
Each task will explain whether or not you should run the code.
For each task, you can use JS2 week 2 prep
to help you with the questions.
You can also use documentation to look up any functions that are unfamiliar.
Don’t use ChatGPT or any other AI tool to help you.
🧰 Setup
- Get into pairs or groups of up to three.
- Make sure you have a clone of the CYF-Workshops repository on your local machine
This workshop can be found here 👉 https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/CYF-Workshops/tree/main/objects
In this workshop, each file contains a different problem at a particular level.
You should start this project at Level 100 and then move through the levels in ascending order, level 200, 300 etc.
Community Lunch
Every Saturday at CYF we cook and eat together. We share our food and our stories. We learn about each other and the world. We build community.
This is everyone’s responsibility, so help with what is needed to make this happen, for example, organising the food, setting up the table, washing up, tidying up, etc. You can do something different every week. You don’t need to be constantly responsible for the same task.
Study Group
What are we doing now?
You’re going to use this time to work through coursework. Your cohort will collectively self-organise to work through the coursework together in your own way. Sort yourselves into groups that work for you.
Use this time wisely
You will have study time in almost every class day. Don’t waste it. Use it to:
- work through the coursework
- ask questions and get unblocked
- give and receive code review
- work on your portfolio
- develop your own projects

Start a reviewRetro: Start / Stop / Continue
Retro (20 minutes)
A retro is a chance to reflect on this past sprint. You can do this on a Jamboard (make sure someone clicks “Make a copy” before you start, and you work on that together) or on sticky notes on a wall.
- Set a timer for 5 minutes.
- Write down as many things as you can think of that you’d like to start, stop, and continue doing next sprint.
- Write one point per note and keep it short.
- When the timer goes off, one person should set a timer for 1 minute and group the notes into themes.
- Next, set a timer for 2 minutes and all vote on the most important themes by adding a dot or a +1 to the note.
- Finally, set a timer for 8 minutes and all discuss the top three themes.
