Free programming workshop for women

Django Girls

If you identify as a woman and want to learn how to make websites, we have good news for you: we are holding a one-day workshop for beginners!

It will take place on Saturday, May 4th, 2019 at the Huntington Convention Center (PyCon) in Cleveland.

We believe the 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 – women programmers!

Workshops are free of charge, but don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop only until March 25th!

Apply for the workshop!

If you have a laptop, you can apply for our event! You don't need to know any technical stuff – our workshop is for people who are new to programming. We are trans-inclusive and encourage applications from all women and non-binary people.

As a workshop attendee you will:

• attend a one-day Django workshop during which you will create your first website
• be fed by us: during our event, food is provided
• meet people from around the world that are learning to code

We only have space for 46 people, so make sure to fill out 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 still can apply!

¿Necesito saber algo sobre sitios web o programación?

¡No! Los talleres son para principiantes. No necesitas saber nada al respecto. Sin embargo, si tiene un poco de conocimiento técnico (es decir, sabe qué es HTML o CSS), ¡todavía puede aplicar!

Should I bring my own laptop?

Yes. We have no hardware, so we expect you to bring your computer with you. This is also important so that you can take home everything you’ll write and create during the workshop.

Debo traer mi propio notebook?

Sí. No tenemos hardware, por lo que esperamos que traiga su computadora con usted. Esto también es importante para que pueda llevarse a casa todo lo que va a escribir y crear durante el taller.

Is food provided?

Yes. We will provide lunch and snacks - details TBD. If you have dietary restrictions please note those on the application form. These will not factor into your acceptance, and will help us provide food options for all participants.

Se proporciona comida?

Sí! Brindaremos almuerzo y bocadillos - detalles por determinar. Si usted tiene restricciones dietéticas, por favor tenga en cuenta las que figuran en el formulario de aplicación, eso no es un factor negativo en su aplicación, solamente nos ayudará a proporcionar opciones de alimentos para todos los participantes.

Do I need to have something installed on my laptop?

We will install all necesssary software at the InstallFest on May 3rd, the Friday evening before the workshop. If you are unable to attend this pre-workshop event, you will need to follow the install instructions on tutorial.djangogirls.org at some point before May 4th.

¿Necesito tener algo instalado en mi computadora portátil?

Instalaremos todo el software necesario en el InstallFest el 3 de mayo, el viernes por la tarde antes del taller. Si no puedes asistir a este pre-evento, deberá seguir las instrucciones de instalación en tutorial.djangogirls.org en algún momento antes del 4 de mayo.

Will there be childcare?

We are working on it! If you know of a company who would be willing to sponsor childcare for this event, please let us know.

¿Habrá cuidado de niños?

¡Estamos trabajando en esa idea! Si conoces una empresa que estaría dispuesta a patrocinar. Por favor, entre en contacto con nosotros.

I'm under 18 - can I still attend?

Yes, if you are in high school and a parent or guardian attends with you.

Tengo menos de 18 años, puedo asistir?

Sí, si estás en la escuela secundaria y un padre o tutor te asiste.
