Get ready, developers! The GitHub Copilot Global Bootcamp is back from June 17 to July 10, 2025. This time, it’s bigger and better, offering both virtual and in-person workshops worldwide.
What’s New in This Edition?
The first bootcamp in February attracted over 60,000 developers globally. Now, the second edition expands with local meetups alongside online sessions. You can join from your city or your couch!
Microsoft recently announced some exciting updates at Build 2025, making this bootcamp even more relevant:
- The GitHub Copilot Chat extension is going open source, boosting transparency and collaboration.
- Visual Studio Code is evolving into an open source AI editor with deep AI integration.
- New APIs and tools simplify building with AI and large language models (LLMs).
“This bootcamp is your opportunity to explore new tools and be part of the global AI software development conversation.”
Who Should Join?
Whether you’re a beginner, a university student, or a seasoned pro, this bootcamp is designed for you. It focuses on practical GitHub Copilot use cases and how to boost productivity with AI.
