Django Girls New York City

If you identify as a woman and you want to learn how to make websites, it's time to get started: we are holding a one-day workshop for beginners! It will take place on April 17th & 18th, 2026 at Fractal Tech Hub, 111 Conselyea St, Brooklyn, New York City.

We believe that tech industry will benefit from bringing more women into engineering roles. As part of supporting that effort, we want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program your first web app.

This workshop is aimed at total beginners. You don't need to know anything about programming to participate. You just need to bring your own laptop and have a sufficient understanding of English to follow our English-language tutorial.

The workshop is free of charge but we have a limited number of seats available. The application period will be open until February 28th, 2026.

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

Register to Attend

Do I need to know anything about websites or programming?

Not at all! This workshop is for beginners. There are no prerequisites. If you have a little bit of technical knowledge (say you know what HTML or CSS are), however, you still can apply

I am not living in New York City, can I attend?

Yes, but we are currently not offering any financial aid for travel or accommodations.

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 the workshop, but we don'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 are we doing this?

Because we want to empower more women to get involved in technology and build a diverse tech community!.

Is food provided?

Yes. Thanks to our generous sponsors, food will be provided throughout the workshop.

Be a Mentor!
