+# Hello World
+
+The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".
+
+["Hello, World!"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) is
+the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language
+or environment.
+
+The objectives are simple:
+
+- Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
+- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
+- Submit your solution and check it at the website.
+
+If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.
+
+## Resources
+
+Remember to check out the Raku [documentation](https://docs.raku.org/) and
+[resources](https://raku.org/resources/) pages for information, tips, and
+examples if you get stuck.
+
+## Running the tests
+
+There is a test suite and module included with the exercise.
+The test suite (a file with the extension `.rakutest`) will attempt to run routines
+from the module (a file with the extension `.rakumod`).
+Add/modify routines in the module so that the tests will pass! You can view the
+test data by executing the command `raku --doc *.rakutest` (\* being the name of the
+test suite), and run the test suite for the exercise by executing the command
+`prove6 .` in the exercise directory.
