It will take place on 21st of April 2024 in Berlin

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 part of the technology community!

Workshops are free of charge.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary since the first Django Girls ever, we are returning to PyCon DE! πŸ’š

Vinted will host our lovely installation party! 🩡

The entrance for our workshop will be at Mittelstraße 63, 10117 Berlin (3rd floor - Vinted/Kleiderkreisel)

Apply for the workshop now!

The application process is now closed. We will email you your acceptance by March 30th (or sooner)! 

Missed your chance to apply?

Follow us on Instagram for the next events!

Also, check out events in other cities, or you can try the tutorial on your own.

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 Berlin, can I attend?

Of course! If you are able to make it to Berlin, workshops will be in English, so if you have no trouble with speaking and understanding English - you can apply.

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 Python and Django installed before workshops, but it is not necessary. We will make sure that one of our coaches will help you out with this task.

Is food provided?

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