Intro to SQL: Practical Workshop

Let’s start 2026 with new knowledge! 🎉

📊 Intro to SQL: Practical Workshop

SQL (Structured Query Language) is one of the most essential skills in tech — from data analysis to backend development, it’s everywhere.

But how does it actually work? And how can you start using it yourself?

Join us for a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the core concepts of SQL and practice them by building your own mini-database and writing real queries.

For participants with prior experience, we’ll include extra exercises and more challenging tasks, so everyone can learn at their own level.

🧠 In this workshop, we’ll cover:

- What databases are and how they’re structured
- The fundamentals of SQL queries
- How to create your own database, add data, and retrieve information
- A practical mini-project in teams
- Optional “tricky queries” for intermediate learners

💻 Tools
We’ll use an online SQL environment — no local installation needed!

🕚 Time: 11:00 - 14:00
📍 Location: CIC, 4th floor Groothandelsgebouw, Stationsplein 45, Rotterdam
