GitHub Copilot Hackathon

February 05, 2025

Ready to get your Copilot wings?

Eager to get started with AI, but not sure where to begin? Join us on February 5th, and learn about GitHub Copilot. What is it really, and what is it not?

After a short introduction to the tool, you'll spend the afternoon in small teams testing and trying Copilot's capabilities and limitations with a fun and interactive hackathon assignment. Of course our GitHub experts will help you navigate this challenge. 

You should join if...

  • ...you are a developer, team lead, (coding) architect, technical tester, or (technical) product owner curious to explore the potential of GitHub Copilot.
  • ...you have no or little experience using GitHub Copilot so far, or you do have experience but want to learn more.
  • ...you want to increase your productivity, coding skills, and code quality on a daily basis and delegate the mundane tasks to Copilot.
  • ...you're up for experimenting during a fun afternoon with likeminded people.
  • ...you would like to learn from the best GitHub experts ;).

You probably shouldn't join if...

  • ...we don't know why you wouldn't, unless you're not the least bit interested in AI tools or GitHub Copilot.
