Waiting list

17 February 2017 08:15Volvo Group, Göteborg

Ever wondered what it is like to drive a truck?

Wonder no more. After this Friday in February you will know. 

We pick you up in the centre of Gothenburg in the morning, drive you to the workshop site, hang out with coders working at Volvo Group, work with Arduinos in teams, eat lunch and drive trucks. At the end of the day we drive you back.  Coffee? Yes, you will get fika as well. Meet other Pink Programmers like you? Yes, of course! Programming is used everywhere - at this event you will learn how it's used when designing trucks at Volvo Group, and meet the programmers behind the scenes!

You don't need to have any programming experience to attend this event, the goal of the event is to get a sense of how programming is used when designing trucks and to do a project of your own by using the hardware of Arduino. We'll get you started with the Arduinos and provide team tasks for the beginner as well as the experienced coder. You don't need to have a driver's license for the test driving. 

We gather outside the entrance of the First G Hotel (outside of the Nils Ericsson terminal) where the bus will pick us up and drive us to the workshop at Volvo Group @ Torslanda. At the end of the day the bus drives us back to the same spot again.

So bring your friend, colleague, sister, mother or daughter and join us for a fun day of inspiration and learning!

Take a look at the video from our last workshop to get some inspiration - hope to see you at the event!
