If you 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 the 5th of September, 2026 at Western Gateway Building, UCC in Cork.
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 and if you cannot afford coming to Cork 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 the 7th of August!
If you are a beginner to programming, know English, and 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. You do not have to be a woman to apply, but women will be prioritised in selection.
As a workshop attendee you will:
We have space only for 40 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!
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.
Can I apply if I'm not a woman?
Yes! However, women will be prioritised when selecting participants.
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. Coffee, pastries, and lunch will be served during workshops.
We couldn't be here without the support from amazing people and organisations who donated money, knowledge and time to help us make this a reality. If you want to contribute and support our goal, please get it touch

It amplifies people. It sparks breakthroughs. When you tap into the full power of your data, you command the future you create. That's NetApp.
Rinn Artificial Intelligence is designed to serve as a national hub for research and innovation in data science and AI. The programme has two overarching goals: (i) to advance foundational cutting-edge research in Data Science and AI, and (ii) to pursue open, international, and inter- and transdisciplinary research aimed at studying, designing, and implementing strategies to address societal challenges.
University College Cork has played a pivotal role in the development of computing. George Boole, first professor of mathematics at what was then Queen’s College Cork, developed the formal foundations of propositional logic, which underpins the hardware and software of all modern digital computers. The school’s ethos reflects this tradition, emphasising scientific development and exploitation of knowledge, fully integrated with teaching, public engagement, and practical application for the benefit of society and the wider economy.
