Java Bootcamp: The Grand Finale Hack Hour
The **Women Coding Community (WCC)** is wrapping up our Java Bootcamp with a high-energy, hands-on **Hack Hour** session. This isn't just a presentation—it's a community coding event where we build the future of our platform together.
***The Theme: "Building for the Community"***
We are focusing on practical Java projects that directly support the **Women Coding Community** mission. Whether you are a beginner focusing on core Java or an intermediate developer ready for Spring Boot, we have a path for you.
**Choose your approach:**
**\- The Architect:** Come with a specific Java project idea and your initial implementation. Use this time to pair program with mentors to solve bugs or add features.
**\- The Catalyst:** Just bring an idea! Connect with other attendees, form a team on the spot, and spend the evening coding a prototype with us.
***AI Tools in Practice: Accelerate Your Java Development***
We'll explore how AI assistants can accelerate your Java learning and development. Live demos and discussion covering:
• Using Claude, ChatGPT, and JetBrains AI for debugging and code generation.
• Best practices for prompting AI when learning a new language
• What to trust, what to verify, and when to push back on AI suggestions
• Comparing tool strengths for different Java use case
***Project Inspiration***
All ideas are centered around enhancing the **WCC ecosystem**. Pick a level that challenges you:
**Basic: Core Java & CLI Tools**
* **WCC Member Directory:** Build a command-line tool to manage member profiles (name, skills, location) using Java Collections and File I/O.
* **Event Attendance Tracker:** Create a system to track check-ins for our meetups using the Java Date/Time API.
* **Coding Challenge Generator:** Develop a tool that randomly selects Java exercises for members to practice.
**Intermediate: Spring Boot & APIs**
* **WCC Job Board:** Create a REST API for members to post and filter tech opportunities.
* **Community Blog Platform:** Build a backend that supports Markdown posts and author profiles for WCC contributors.
* **Skill-Tracking Dashboard:** Develop a platform for members to track their learning journey and visualize progress.
*Mentors will be on hand throughout the evening to guide you through the vibe coding process, answer questions, and help you get unstuck.*
**To join register here: [Java Bootcamp Form](https://forms.gle/kw7fgyvwzwxsZPFX7)**

AI Next Level - Prompting like a Pro & Using AI Responsibly
**Meer snelheid, betere output én verantwoord gebruik van AI in je dagelijkse werk.**
Je hebt de **AI Essentials** onder de knie.
Je experimenteert met prompts, ziet de potentie en gebruikt AI inmiddels regelmatig.
Maar je voelt ook: dit kan scherper, sneller en bewuster.
In deze **AI Next Level-workshop** zetten we de volgende stap.
Geen herhaling van de basis, maar verdieping.
Meer grip op prompting én meer inzicht in wat verantwoord AI-gebruik in de praktijk écht betekent.
**Wat houdt deze workshop in?**
Deze interactieve dag bestaat uit twee nauw verbonden onderdelen:
**1\. Prompting like a Pro**
Je gebruikt al een basisstructuur voor prompts — nu is het tijd om door te schakelen.
In dit deel leer je:
* Geavanceerdere promptstructuren die sneller tot betere output leiden
* Hoe je minder hoeft te “stoeien” en gerichter kunt werken
* Hoe je AI effectief inzet als denkpartner bij complexere vraagstukken
* Hoe je context, rol en doel zó meegeeft dat je output direct bruikbaar wordt
Het resultaat: **meer snelheid, meer kwaliteit en meer vertrouwen in wat je terugkrijgt.**
**2\. Using AI Responsibly**
Minstens zo belangrijk — en vaak onderschat.
AI is krachtig, maar niet neutraal en niet zonder risico’s.
Hoe ga je daar professioneel mee om?
Je leert onder andere:
* Welke informatie je wel en juist niet in prompts moet verwerken
* Hoe om te gaan met privacy, vertrouwelijkheid en bedrijfsinformatie
* Hoe AI-modellen zijn getraind en wat dat betekent voor de antwoorden
* Hoe je bias, aannames en “mooie maar onjuiste” output herkent
Dit deel helpt je om **bewuster, veiliger en professioneler** met AI te werken — voor jezelf én je organisatie.
**Hoe werken we?**
Net als bij de Essentials-workshop geloven we niet in zenden, maar in **samen ontdekken**.
* Praktisch en interactief: werken met je eigen cases
* Creatief en laagdrempelig: leren door te doen
* Leren van elkaar: verschillende rollen, contexten en perspectieven
* Geen technische training, geen tool-overzicht
* Wel: denken, beoordelen, toepassen en verbeteren
De ervaring leert **dat de groep een groot deel van de waarde bepaalt** — en dat hoor je terug in de feedback.
**Wat neem je mee na afloop?**
Na deze workshop:
* Werk je sneller en gerichter met AI
* Weet je welke prompts écht werken voor jouw werk
* Kun je AI-output beter beoordelen en bevragen
* Ga je bewuster om met data, privacy en betrouwbaarheid
* Weet je concreet wat je maandag anders doet
En:
**Drie weken later organiseren we een vrijblijvende terugkom-call,** waarin deelnemers ervaringen delen en leren van elkaars praktijk.
**Voor wie is deze workshop bedoeld?**
Deze workshop is bedoeld voor:
* Professionals en managers zonder technische achtergrond
* Deelnemers van de AI Essentials-workshop (of vergelijkbare basiskennis)
* Mensen die AI al gebruiken, maar daar meer rendement en zekerheid uit willen halen
* Iedereen die AI professioneel, bewust en verantwoord wil inzetten
**Pilot & praktische informatie**
Deze workshop is opgezet als **Next Level-pilot**.
Dat betekent: kleinschalig, persoonlijk en met ruimte voor feedback om de training verder te verfijnen.

Improv theatre drop in lesson with Iwan Dam
Join us for a special Friday night improv drop-in with Iwan Dam, focusing on the playful overlap between improv theatre and musical theatre. This workshop is open to everyone and is a great way to explore musical improv in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
You do not need any acting or singing experience, and you definitely do not need to be a trained singer. Musical improv is about playfulness, connection, and storytelling first. The singing comes from supporting each other and committing to the moment, not from sounding perfect.
This workshop is especially suitable if you are curious about the Musical Improv Theatre course Iwan is teaching for Improv Utrecht this January, but want to try it out first in an easy, welcoming way.
What to expect
A fun and supportive improv workshop in English
Simple musical and non-musical exercises that ease you in gently
A focus on confidence, play, and ensemble rather than performance
Lots of laughter and shared discoveries
As always, the group is a mix of first-timers and regulars. Expect around 12 to 22 people, with several joining for the very first time.
Practical information
Doors open between 19:50 and 20:00. Please enter together with the group.
The entrance is on the side of the building, via Troelstralaan.
Workshop time is from 20:00 to 22:00.
Full details can be found at [https://bit.ly/iudropin](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fiudropin%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExYzVUWUpNcUx3Qmxyc0tCNnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR47s8ybxWZatpAjlsWrEYXEnHWVaWkjI1424e68ci6oex2vGYAb-0cOSn2plA_aem_yEDTwvRv1fmwY1MrKu0DSw&h=AT2XbwCsqfJ894aJximxfVrXyTziESuzJo4D61Z-shHQtj-AzQMrx0DxoRs2W8m37BhJHAvsaRN-ppsriR00n-wEj5gIv3Uy-qUS3EZtpJICGT5zWtkcAroifQ_I-020i3bNbtWQw5kSVU2873Q&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT0_DoGsfm-IX09YmtFSWfCBg4b48013CEcgAIA_Uxa7jz7H087pH6D-YJ7L-Y7jvZf1NH0tuPyC1DNdIWX2APhHo90K8qeIPebU9NEmmFsa3ZoSSqFNnU-qzrq5edwDkuM2JXV9rpHiXHDGzYwq6lz--IT42QwAgbI)

🌸 Online Women’s Circle | Meditation & Journaling – Relax the Belly
🌸 **Free online gathering**
**Next circle: March 15**
After this, we will continue meeting on the **first Sunday of each month**.
A space to begin the month by returning to yourself.
This women’s circle is an invitation to give yourself one hour to pause, slow down, and reconnect with your body, your inner voice, and other women. A simple and caring commitment: beginning the month with meditation and journaling in community.
You can think of it as a small personal ritual, creating the habit of listening to yourself, writing, and setting intentions for the month ahead.
We meet online on Sunday afternoons to gently transition into a new week and a new month, creating a moment of presence, reflection, and intention.
During this 1-hour session we will explore:
✨ a guided meditation to arrive in the body
✨ a journaling practice to connect with what is alive in you
✨ a space for sharing, where you are welcome to speak or simply listen
No previous experience is needed. You are welcome just as you are.
Please have a notebook and a pen nearby, and join from a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted during the session.
You are welcome to join once, or come back each month. The choice is yours.
The first circles are offered for free in order to create community and open this space to more women.
Participants who register for the event will receive the **Google Meet link** before the circle begins.
It will be lovely to welcome you into this space 🌿
Real Estate #3: Kasteel Broekhuizen — A Country Estate of Ruins & Hidden Stories
**Sunday, March 15th – 13:00**
**Meeting point:** Bus stop *Donderberg*, Leersum
For the third edition of **Real Estate**, our series dedicated to exploring some of the most fascinating villas, estates and historic residences in the Netherlands, we head to the green heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug to discover **Kasteel Broekhuizen**.
Hidden among forests and rolling landscapes near Leersum, Broekhuizen is a country estate with **medieval roots and a turbulent history**. Over the centuries, it has known periods of prosperity, destruction and reconstruction — and today it stands as a quiet witness to how history, landscape and architecture continuously reshape each other.
During our walk, we’ll explore the **estate and its surrounding park**, uncovering stories about:
* the rise and fall of the estate
* its phases of destruction and rebuilding
* hidden corners and forgotten traces in the landscape
* and the role of the **Van Nellesteyn family** in shaping its history
This is not just a visit to a beautiful country house, but a journey through **layers of time**, where nature and history are deeply intertwined.
### Practical information
* **Walk length:** approx. 3.4 km
* The route goes through parkland and forest paths, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
### After the walk
We’ll finish at **Bistro LOF**, the café/restaurant located within the castle estate itself, where we can enjoy a drink together — and for those who wish, also stay for something to eat — in a setting that perfectly complements the atmosphere of the place.
A hidden estate.
A story of loss and renewal.
A walk through history in the landscape.
7km hike from Utrecht Lunetten to Amelisweerd-Rhijnauwen and back
🌿 Join us for a beautiful 7km hike through Amelisweerd-Rhijnauwen on Saturday 14th of March! ✨
Starting from Utrecht Lunetten station, we’ll explore forest paths, cross charming bridges, and follow the scenic Kromme Rijn river. Along the way, we'll pass the stunning Landhuis Nieuw-Amelisweerd, historic Oud-Amelisweerd, and the famous pancake spot Theehuis Rhijnauwen, before making our way back via a picturesque towpath.
Utrecht Hiking Community is not about fast hiking, but about social hiking. Everyone can join: beginners, more advanced hikers, students, professionals, locals, expats, etc. Every month we organise one hike in a different location each month, so you may explore places where you haven't been before. And if you have been somewhere before already, it's still a good opportunity to be active and to get to know some fellow hiking enthusiasts.🚶♂️
🔔 Tips: Wear comfy walking shoes, bring water, and check the weather. In case of bad weather, the hike may be postponed, so please look for any latest updates on the day before the hike.
Please try to arrive to Utrecht Lunetten train station in time. We want to depart around 10.30AM, so try to be there before that time. Are unforeseen circumstances causing you to arrive later? Then please contact us via WhatsApp on +31621177691. We won't make the whole group wait for you, but we can share our location with you so you can come after us.
There are no toilets at Utrecht Lunetten train station. Therefore please visit a restroom before arrival.
For those coming by car, there's a small free parking lot directly next to Utrecht Lunetten train station, address: Furkaplateau 2.
Dogs are allowed on this route, but need to be kept on a leash during parts of the route. The route is not suitable for people with strollers.
For those who like to, there is the option to go for drinks/lunch in the shopping center of Lunetten afterwards.
Organising our monthly hikes comes with some costs (travel costs, yearly MeetUp subscription). Therefore we would be very glad for any donations to support us via this link: [https://www.ing.nl/payreq/m/?trxid=zXP3ACEFu2KEgnjtqUPIb7BeSr44EGBL](https://www.ing.nl/payreq/m/?trxid=zXP3ACEFu2KEgnjtqUPIb7BeSr44EGBL)
