Algorithms: Recursion [Online Group Practice]

Prepping for a coding interview or just want to brush up on your CS fundamentals? Join Women Who Code Boston for an evening of remote group collaboration as we work through problems exploring recursion!

This event is for group practice only, so there will not be a presentation at the beginning of the event. If you attended the April 2nd Algorithms event on Recursion and would like more practice working with others, you're welcome to attend - the problems will be from the same pool, so you're encouraged to pick a different problem this time!

BEFORE THE EVENT
We will be communicating throughout the event on Zoom and on WWCode Boston's Slack. To set yourself up:

1. Create a free Zoom account: https://zoom.us/signup (recommend using your non-work email)
2. Join our Slack Community: http://bit.ly/wwcode-boston-slack.
3. Then, join the channel #algorithms-and-interview-prep

• The Zoom link will be visible on this page to everyone who has RSVP'd "Yes" on the day of the event *

SCHEDULE

6:00 - 6:05 pm | Time to settle down:
ensure everyone is connected on Slack (http://bit.ly/wwcode-boston-slack), and on Zoom

6:05 - 6:15 pm | Welcome/Event Intro

6:15 - 7:20 pm | All participants will be assigned randomly into Zoom breakout rooms. They will work together to solve problems from https://github.com/WomenWhoCodeBoston/algorithms/blob/master/challenges/Recursion/Readme.md

7:20 - 7:30 pm | Recap and (optionally) present solutions to the group

INTENT

This meetup allows you to practice technical interview questions in a friendly, safe, and collaborative environment. Attendees work in small groups to improve their white boarding and problem-solving skills.
We are going to divide and conquer each month. This month, we will focus on solutions based on Recursive algorithms.
Please, no recruiters - this is a study group and not a recruiting event.
