Are you a student eager to explore the world of web development and open-source technology? Want to look beyond the usual suspects like WordPress and cloud-based CMS platforms?
Join us on 26 March 2026 at Drupalcon Chicago's “Drupal in a Day”, presented by Acquia, a special program designed for university and college students and just everybody curious, who want to get hands-on experience with Drupal, one of the world’s leading content management systems.
Whether you’re a student in computer science, media, design, or business, or just want to know what all that buzz is, this is your chance to kickstart your Drupal journey and explore future career opportunities in open-source technology. And it’s free with limited spots available!
"Such an engaging and insightful session! It was a great hands-on intro to Drupal, and I took away some really valuable insights. Even though my background is in bioengineering, it was a fascinating experience outside my usual field." - Martina Daňková
Guided by experienced Drupalers, participants will build a website from scratch in small groups. No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity and your own laptop. The workshop will be held in English. Seats are limited, so make sure to register. The venue is accessible.
