It will take place on 3rd, December, 2016 at * in Owerri.

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 the growing population of Nigerian female programmers!

Workshops are free of charge and if you cannot afford coming to OWERRI but are very motivated to learn and then share your knowledge with others, we may have some funds to help you out with your travel costs and accommodation. Don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop only until 18 November, 2016!

As a workshop attendee you will:

We have space only for 30 people, so make sure to fill out the form very carefully!

* We are currently scouting locations for this event and hope to make an announcement of venue soon. We are looking for new volunteers to help make this event extraordinary, so get in touch if you're interested in getting involved.

Applications are open now!

Application process closes on 18th November 2016 and you'll be informed about acceptance or rejection by November 30th (or sooner)!

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!

I am not living in Owerri, can I attend?

Of course! Workshops will be in English, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply. If you need financial aid to get to Owerri or you need assistance with accomodation in Owerri - let us know. We are willing to help 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 for 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 would be helpful to have Django installed before workshops, but wouldn't expect you to install anything on your own.We will make sure that one of our coaches will help you out with this task.

Is food provided?

Yes. Thanks to our sponsors, snacks and lunch will be served during workshops.

Be a Mentor!

We would be delighted if you would like to join us as a mentor! Fill in the form here, but select the option to be a mentor.

We will contact you :)
