Would you like to learn about how to build websites, but don’t know where to start? We’re hosting a free workshop to teach 30 women how to build websites from scratch.
Join us on 25th & 26th of September at ThoughtWorks Atlanta, where you'll learn about programming, meet other motivated women, and ultimately build your own website.
We believe that IT industry will greatly benefit from bringing more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program and become one of us!
This workshop is aimed at total beginners. You don't need to know anything about programming to participate. You just need to bring your own laptop on Friday, September 25, and have a sufficient understanding of English to follow our English-language tutorial.
Workshops are free of charge and women from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. You'll work through a tutorial in small groups of three with a coach, so you'll be able to learn at your own pace.
We are trans-inclusive and encourage applications from all women.
If you identify as a woman, know English, and have a laptop, you can apply for the workshop! You don’t need any prior technical knowledge. This class is for absolute beginners.

Can I participate if I have low vision or am hard of hearing?
While we do not have any special facilities for attendees who are Deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or have low vision, our coaches will use text-based communication if it will help you.
