+Are you interested in starting your next project in Python or Rust but unsure where to begin? Whether you're new to coding or looking to explore a new language, this event is for you!
+
+Join us for a collaborative meetup between Spokane Python and Spokane Rust, where we'll guide you through setting up your first projects in both Python and Rust.
+🔹 In the Python session, we'll walk through:
+
+✅ Setting up your development environment
+✅ Managing dependencies with virtual environments
+✅ Structuring your project repository
+✅ Using essential third-party tools
+✅ Creating an example project from scratch
+
+🔹 Meanwhile, our friends from Spokane Rust will cover the same foundational topics—this time in Rust!
+
+This event is beginner-friendly, and no prior experience is required! While we’ll focus on helping newcomers, experienced developers are also welcome to join, share insights, and connect with the community.
+Come ready to learn, ask questions, and meet fellow Pythonistas and Rustaceans. We can't wait to see you there! 🚀🐍🦀
