Ready to Level Up Your GitHub Copilot Skills?
Eager to enhance your coding experience with AI but unsure where to start? Join us on May 21st, and prepare to level up your GitHub Copilot skills in a fast-paced, game-inspired event. Whether you’re a rookie or a pro, we've got tracks for both skill levels:
- Track 1: The Rookie Mode – Learn the basics of GitHub Copilot and unlock your first "power-up" as you explore how it can transform your daily coding tasks.
- Track 2: Advanced Mode – Already a Copilot veteran? It’s time to challenge yourself! Dive deeper into the advanced features and level up your skills to Champions League status.
After a brief "game tutorial", you’ll be battling it out in small teams during a fun, competitive hackathon. Our GitHub experts will be there to help you navigate through challenges and guide you on your journey to becoming a Copilot Champion.
You should join if...
- You’re a developer, team lead, (coding) architect, technical tester, or (technical) product owner who’s ready to unlock new achievements with GitHub Copilot.
- You have little to no experience with Copilot, or you’ve used it but want to go full boss fight mode with new advanced features.
- You want to increase your productivity and uncover the superpower of delegating boring tasks to Copilot.
- You’re up for an epic afternoon of fun, friendly competition, and proving your Copilot skills in the ultimate showdown.
- You want to level up alongside GitHub's elite squad of experts and earn your "Legendary Coder" badge!
You probably shouldn’t join if...
- You’re not interested in AI tools or GitHub Copilot (though we can't imagine why you'd want to miss out on this XP boost!).
