Hello world!

Rails Girls Groningen will Rock your world again! During the free two-day workshop we'll dive into the magical world of Ruby on Rails.

Applications are closed!

You learn to build your very own web application and doing so, you'll also learn the basics of rails and coding with the help from our coaches.

You need your own laptop, curiosity and a sprinkle of imagination!
