Can we use deliberate practise for learning to code #AI and #machinelearning

I am exploring these ideas in a free coding workshop/ meetups in London. There is already a waiting list. We may hold more workshops next year depending on how these go. I have been involved in teaching Data Science for a few years now (Oxford University - Data Science for Internet of Things and also online). Over the years, I have tried to improve my teaching .. and adopt ideas from other domains into my teaching One such technique is Deliberate practice a technique which probably originated in the former Soviet Union to train world class athletes.
