Summary

Join us at Agile Yorkshire for a playful and insightful session where you'll learn the basics of Test Driven Development (TDD) using LEGO bricks! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll skip the code and computers and instead use LEGO to build and refine our understanding of TDD. You’ll experience the process of creating failing tests, making them pass, and refactoring—all without writing a single line of code. Whether you're a techie or a non-techie, this session promises to make complex concepts like design, simplicity, and the importance of refactoring both accessible and fun. Embrace your inner child and join us for some hands-on learning with everyone’s favourite building blocks!
