See all- Build with AI: Architecture Kata - Cambridge Tech Week Special!The Bradfield Centre, Cambridge
For our September meetup and to celebrate Cambridge Tech Week, we will be hosting a very special Architecture Kata with an AI flavour!
What's the format?
You'll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You'll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context.As with real-life you'll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.
At the end of the task you will showcase your architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion and you'll be able to decide if you'd make any decisions differently after receiving feedback and seeing what other groups designed.
This session is all about collaborative learning, skill enhancement and networking in a relaxed environment. You don’t need to be experienced in Architecture to participate.
This is an excellent opportunity to try out Software Architecture in a collaborative, supportive and fun environment.
The session will be led by Daniel Vaughan, a Cloud Native Architect and Google Developer Expert.
