ChicagoRuby is excited to expand to BLUE1647, a technology innovation center that includes software development and maker space. At ChicagoRuby: BLUE1647 we come together in an environment that fosters collaboration and creating. In keeping with that spirit we invite everyone to come meet new people, share ideas, learn new things, and build!

Let the group know what you’d like to take away from the meetings and what would be interesting to you. We are all students and teachers so feel free to share your knowledge and experiences with fellow Rubyists.
