I am seeing interesting parallels between the collaborative learning effect expected in the coding dojo (origins in martial arts) and the studio-based learning approach (origins in art education).
Both have the potential to encourage participants to develop 'hidden' skills such as communication, collaboration, cooperation, and self-direction - all skills which are becoming more and more vital for those entering the IT industry.
Space and approach seems vital to many things.
Either way parallels are being drawn between programming and art in both cases.
