Django Girls

If you are a woman and 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 2, April, 2022 at Col. John C. Robinson American Center in Addis Ababa.

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.  Don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop only until March 18!

Apply for the workshop!

If you are a woman, know English or Amharic 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.

As a workshop attendee you will:

  • attend a one-day Django workshop during which you will create your first website
  • network with womens who are in Technology

We have space only for 30 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!

I am not living in Addis Ababa, can I attend?

Of course! Workshops will be virutal and conducted in English and Amharic, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English or Amharic - you should apply. 

Do I need a laptop?

Yes. We host the workshop virtually, so we expect you to use your own computer at home. 

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 prior to the workshop.

Is Django Addis Ababa good for a total beginner?

Django Addis Ababa is beginner friendly.
