If you are a female and you want to learn how to make websites, we have good news for you! We are holding a one-day workshop for beginners!
The workshop will take place on 12th of March in Bratislava, during the second annual PyCon SK.
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 - female programmers!
Workshops are free of charge and if you can’t afford coming to Bratislava, but you are very motivated to learn and then share your knowledge with others, we have some funds to help you out with your travel costs and accommodation. Don’t wait too long - you can apply for a pass only until 20th of February!
If you are a woman, you know Slovak or English and have a laptop - you can apply for a pass! You don’t need to know any technical stuff - workshops are for people who are new to programming.
As a workshop attendee you will:
We have space only for 30 people, so make sure to fill the form very carefully!
Do I need to know anything about websites or programming?
No! Workshops are for beginners. You don’t need to know anything about it. However, if you have a little bit of technical knowledge (i.e. you know what HTML or CSS are) you can still apply!
I am not living in Slovakia, can I attend?
Of course! Workshops will be in multilingual Slovak and English, so if you have no trouble speaking and understanding Slovak or English - you should apply. If you need financial aid to get to Bratislava or you need assistance with booking flights or hotel in Bratislava - let us know. We will be happy to assist you!
Should I bring my own laptop?
Yes. We have no hardware, so we expect you to bring your computer with you. It is also important to us that you will take home everything you’ll write and create during workshops.
Do I need to have something installed on my laptop?
It is helpful to have Django installed before workshops, but you are not expected to install it on your own. We will make sure that one of our coaches will help you out with this task.
Is PyCon SK conference good for a total beginner?
Even though you are new to programming, PyCon is a good place to meet many interesting people in the industry and find inspiration. We will make sure to highlight any beginner-friendly talks so you'll have a better idea of where to go. Talks will be in Slovak and English.
Is food provided?
Yes. Thanks to PyCon SK, snacks, coffee, and lunch will be served during the workshop.
Our Mentors work hard to make sure that our participants have a positive introduction to the world of programming. They come from diverse IT backgrounds (and from multiple countries!) but share the passion for inspiring and mentoring others.
We couldn't be here without the support from amazing people and organizations who donated money, knowledge and time to help us make this a reality. If you want to contribute and support our goal, please get in touch: [email protected]
