Friday, July 21st - Install Party/Registration
Saturday 22nd July - Workshop day
Do I need to know anything about websites or programming?
No! Workshops are for total 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 Nasarawa, can I attend?
Of course! you can apply. If you need financial aid to get to Nasarawa or you need assistance with accomodation in Nasarawa - 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.
Why is it important to attend the Pre-Install Party?
You will have a chance not only to get all the required software ready for the workshop but also meet your coach and your group members. It will make you feel relaxed and prepared for your adventure with programming.
Am I too young/old to apply?
Yes. No! We have no age limit for the workshop. We feel that Women of any age can be higlhy motivated to learn and succeed in this field.
We couldn't be here without the support from amazing people and organizations who donated money, knowledge and time to help us make this a reality. If you want to contribute and support our goal, please get in touch
