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 three-days workshop for beginners!

It will take place on 24th March to 27th March, 2017. at BEITI ICT, OFF MANGAL HOUSE, KOFAR KWAYA in Katsina.

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 Katsina 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. Don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop only until 20th March, 2017!

Apply for the workshop!

If you are a woman, 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.

As a workshop attendee you will:

  • attend a one-day Django workshop during which you will create your first website
  • be fed by us: during our event, food is provided

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

You can garb your copy of the schedule here

Applications are now open!

Application process closes on 18th March, 2017 and you'll be informed about acceptance or rejection by 22nd March, 2017 (or sooner)!

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 Kastina, can I attend?

Of course! Workshops will be in English, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply. If you need any assistance - 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.

Is food provided?

Yes. Snacks and lunch will be served during workshops.
