RAGE resrarch group received the best paper award for the article "Learning Agile Software Engineering Practices Using Coding Dojo" in ACM conference on Information Technology Education (SIGITE 2013) on Oct 11, 2013 in Orlando Florida. The article presents a way to use coding dojos for formal software engineering education. In the paper, coding dojos are described as follows:

Coding dojo is a meeting where a small group of participants gathers together to practice programming. Its main goal is to act as a safe and non-competitive environment, in which everyone is allowed to learn and make mistakes and share their knowledge so that everyone can improve and become better at their craft. Coding dojos are typically organised by a dojo master, whose task is to facilitate the space and time, while the participants engage in
solving a problem. Often at least part of the participants acts as an audience, whose task is to monitor the working process of other participants and give feedback and improvement suggestions.

The authors of the paper are RAGE summer interns Kenny Heinonen and Kasper Hirvikoski along with Matti Luukkainen and Arto Vihavainen.
