Django Girls Belfast

We want women to experience what it is like to code and work with technology. Our goal is to create a safe environment where women can explore technology.

We are trans-inclusive and welcome all women from all walks of life to enjoy a day of learning. Men are welcome to attend as well. We don't want men out of the IT industry, we just want more women in it.

We take our Code of Conduct very seriously and expect everyone in the workshop to abide to it. You can read our Code of Conduct here

Workshops are free of charge! Applications are now closed!
Please keep an eye out on our Twitter or Facebook for further events.

Apply!

If you are female 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.

We are trans-inclusive and welcome applications from ALL women.

As a workshop attendee you will:

  • attend one-day Django workshops during which you will create your first website
  • Meet people from the industry and learn more about programming

We have limited space for attendees, so make sure to complete the form very carefully!

Applications are now closed!

If you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please contact us on [email protected]

What is Django?

Django is a coding tool that allows you to build web sites using the Python programming language.

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!

Should I bring my own laptop?

If you have your own laptop, then please bring it so that you can take home everything you've written and practise some more! If you don't have access to a laptop, the Belfast Met will be able to supply a computer for you to work on.

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. Our coaches can help you when you arrive.

Is there going to be an exam or test?

No! Our aim is to introduce you to the world of programming and technology in an environment where you'll feel safe to learn and explore at your own pace.

Are Django Girls workshops only for females?

No! All genders can apply. We don't want to get men out of programming; we just want to bring more women in.
