There aren’t many cities in the world that rival the unique scene of Barcelona. The history, culture & attractions, together with a booming startup ecosystem, have made the city rise to the top ranks of tech hubs in Europe.
Attracted by the work-life balance, a highly-skilled and educated workforce, a relatively low cost of living and… the beach, many startups, digital nomads and entrepreneurs are operating in the city.
As one of the most international coding bootcamps in Europe, our students come from multiple backgrounds and cultures but one single goal: learn to code and change their lives.

The Prototyping Demo
Before developers start coding a website, they first make a prototype or design on which they base their product. A free and easy tool to use for this is Figma. Your teacher Avalon will show you how to use Figma and create a great design together with you for our landing page.
The Landing Page Workshop
In this workshop, we’ll be focusing on coding your own landing page from scratch and understanding the important concepts of HTML and CSS.
What you’ll learn:
• What a basic HTML template is and how to generate one in 2 seconds
• How to link the CSS to the HTML and add design to your page
• How to use popular libraries like Google Fonts and Font Awesome, saving time when designing
You’ll then head home with your very own landing page that you’ve coded yourself! Your coding teacher, Ellyn, will be guiding you through new concepts in just 3 hours, instead of days or weeks. It’s the perfect taster to try a new experience in tech, or to just have some fun. Our only requirement from you is that you are eager to learn.
Coding prerequisites:
None, this is a workshop for beginners!
What to bring?
Please bring your laptop fully charged, with the following free programmes installed:
* Google Chrome
* Sublime Text (https://www.sublimetext.com)
* And please bring your own lunch
Above all, it's a practical, pressure-free session and we are here to learn together, make mistakes, exchange and collaborate! This event will be held in English, but all are welcome. We can’t wait to meet you!

* Uproot: Your birds’ eye view in any city, recommends the best place to move to
* AirWork: Make yourself at home, find or rent a workplace
* Art Scan: Save all your favourite artworks here and discover the world of art
* Epicentre: Find the best and most central meeting point for you and your friends
On Friday, the 20th of December, they will showcase the apps they coded during the last 10 days of the bootcamp in front of a large audience: friends, entrepreneurs, geeks, experienced developers, YOU! This is also the opportunity to meet Le Wagon's team, students and alumni!
Join us to celebrate the end of these students journey (and most importantly, new beginnings) surrounded by great company and, of course, some food & drinks :) Be prepared, it will rock!
